Synopsis

Excerpt from Balaam: An Exposition and a Study

These two methods, therefore, I propose to apply. By a careful study of all that Holy Scripture records of him, I hope we may get the facts of the case, the quantities of the problem, more clearly stated; while by running a comparison between him and other inspired men of a similar type, I trust we may find that the problem is a much more common one than we have been wont to suppose, that his case, which has been assumed to be without a parallel, is not so unique, and therefore not so difficult and perplexing, as it seems: even though, after all is done, we should have to confess of Balaam, as Schlegel of Hamlet, that he is an enigma, resembling those irrational equations in which a fraction of unknown magnitude always remains that will admit of no solution.

About this title

Product Description

Excerpt from Balaam: An Exposition and a Study In preparing for this "Study" I carefully re-perused all that had been written on its theme by the great scholars and thinkers for whom the imposing but enigmatical figure of the Chaldean Prophet has possessed a singular fascination, from Bishop Butler down to Cardinal Newman. Whatever I felt to be most helpful and suggestive, - and I found my most valuable aids in the sermons of Butler, F. D. Maurice, and F. W. Robertson, - I have woven, with due acknowledgment, into my own work. And hence I would fain hope that this little book will be found useful to those who wish to acquaint themselves with the best that has been thought and written on a confessedly difficult problem. Of my own solution of that problem I must leave my readers to judge for themselves. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
