Synopsis
Excerpt from Genesis Introduction: Revised Version With Notes, Giving an Analysis Showing From Which of the Original Documents Each Portion of the Text Is Taken, Index and Map
Of conscience, to some prospect Of spiritual advantage, rightly interpreted as the call Of God; many Jacobs, who have, so. To speak, stumbled into the Divine Presence, when their only thought Was of headlong flight from the consequences Of weakness, folly, and sin; many Josephs, too, who have found in humiliating ruih the appointed pathway to honourable 'service. Such vicissitudes Of fortune or of conduct are not far from any of us, and we are all encouraged by the'possibilities of grace suggested by these ancient stories. A mediaeval Rabbi has well said that the faults and failures Of prophets, patriarchs, and saints are recorded for our encouragement, we see that the heroes Of the inspired narrative are human, and that what is told of them is a story of Divine enabling which may be read as a promise to our feeble and erring selves. It is the human, the representative character of these narratives which has preserved them, and procured for them a place In Scripture. Many generations felt that they expressed real experiences, and therefore handed them on as their own testimony also to the righteousness and love Of God.
