Excerpt from The Worth of the Old Testament: A Sermon Preached in St. Paul's Cathedral on the Second Sunday in Advent, December 8, 1889 The call for a second edition of this sermon affords an opportunity for noticing some observa tions, chiefly private, that have been made on one portion of it. It is asked why the critical discussion of the historical and moral worth of the Old Testament cannot proceed without any reference to our Lord's authority at all. Criticism, it is urged, handles only questions with which He was not concerned, and upon which He passes no judgment.
