In this manual of Christian faith, Scottish minister and author
Horatius Bonar investigates the words of God with respect to the
human condition. Throughout the Bible, God's words are relayed by
messengers and prophets. In the various dialogues received from the
Lord, the views of the divine regarding His creation mankind are
revealed. It is through these descriptions that Horatius Bonar
commences his investigation of God's correspondences with man;
gradually, the character of the Lord is revealed, and his
intentions and purposes for humanity unveiled. The event which most
richly demonstrates God's connection with human beings is the birth
and life of Jesus Christ. Bonar notes the significance of the blood
shed by Jesus is connected with the blood shed by Abel during the
Book of Genesis. Furthermore the teachings and sermons of Christ
reveal God's views on mankind and its destiny. The importance of
man acknowledging his own fallibility and flaws - of discarding his
insensibility - is expounded upon.
With informed readings of scripture, Horatius Bonar discusses the
teachings central to Christianity, and the good Christian's
relationship to the divine. Various topics are covered in this
book's chapters, such as the importance of strengthening the soul
to guard against sin, the symbolism and holy power of the crucifix,
and how Christ's spirit dwells within Christians, lending support
and resolution through times of hardship. What holiness is, and its
ancient origins in mankind's interactions with the Lord and his
messengers, is detailed. Throughout this study, Horatius Bonar's
scholarship is in the fullest evidence. Definitive and emphatic in
his guidance, the words are delivered straightforwardly, with
little dwelling on the obscure. Primarily through the use of the
New Testament scripture, the author seeks to confer an
understanding of Christian principles and the veneration of God.
Particular attention is paid to the book of Romans, with the
interpretations of the Apostle Paul taken.
