Excerpt from A Pastor's Gift to His People: A Treatise on Household Consecration and Baptism The greatest of human reasoners and divines, asks, what advantage hath the Jew, and what profit is there of circumcision He takes the ground of an objector, and calls in question the validity or expediency of Jewish rites. He does not, however, like sceptical objectors, leave the questions which he raises, in the dark. He offers objections in order to answer. Them. He pro poses difliculties only to settle them'. He acts the part of the christian philosopher, and relieves entangled questions of their difficulty. It is easier always to ask questions than to answer them - to propound difficulties than to solve them. And he who does both at a stroke, and in the spirit of truth and love, is entitled to our gratitude. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
