The Parables of Our Lord The priests of Babylonia and Egypt were less accustomed to concrete and logical definitions than their critics and expositors of the twentieth century. Myths of Babylonia and Assyria Not content to let the simple narratives of Scripture speak for themselves and convey their proper lessons of instruction, these allegorical expositors force upon them a higher spiritual sense.

The Concept of Nature The Tarner Lectures Delivered in Trinity College, November 1919 He himself is the expositor of two of the most remarkable of the symbols. The Ancient Church Its History, Doctrine, Worship, and Constitution One of the chief practical lessons which expositors ancient and modern have drawn from the parable, under this view of its meaning, is extremely incongruous, and even grotesque. The Parables of Our Lord To that excellent practice, no doubt, much of Lenine's skill as a lucid expositor and successful propagandist is due.

Notes on the Apocalypse But this power of vivid conception, when not held in check by a sound judgment, will lead the expositor of Scripture into the wildest vagaries of fancy.

Sermons on Various Important Subjects He is, as his official expositor, the late Mr. Alfred Hodder, says, "a typical American of the new time." The Promise of American Life Doctor M'Leod and Mr. Faber I consider among the best expositors of the prophecies on which they severally wrote; and therefore their valuable works have been principally contemplated in these animadversions. Notes on the Apocalypse The spirit of the New Testament quotations from the psalms indicates that he had a deeper insight into the prophetic meaning of his words than many modern expositors are willing to admit.

Notes on the Apocalypse But other difficulties are real, and should not be denied or ignored by the honest expositor. Companion to the Bible Fortunately for us, however, two small but incomparable odes and a few scintillating fragments have survived, quoted and handed down in the eulogies of critics and expositors. Sappho: One Hundred Lyrics Some of these certainly represent earthly kingdoms; for so the prophecies themselves expressly inform us; and in the application of nearly all of them there is quite a uniform agreement among expositors.

Notes on the Apocalypse Even theology must fail without a knowledge of the original texts of the Sacred Writings and of their earliest expositors. The Atlantic Monthly, Volume 06, No. 38, December, 1860 From what part of the epistle could the expositor have evolved a thought so soothing to tyrants—so revolting to every man who loves his own nature? The Anti-Slavery Examiner, Part 4 of 4 Savage was an expert in that science of human nature, learnt from experience not from books, upon which Johnson set so high a value, and of which he was destined to become the authorized expositor.
