Strictures On The Doctrine Of Sacrifice Deduced From The Scriptures

Strictures On The Doctrine Of Sacrifice Deduced From The Scriptures: A Series Of Sermons (1858) is a book written by Frederick Denison Maurice, a prominent theologian and Christian philosopher of the 19th century. The book is a collection of sermons that explore the concept of sacrifice as it is presented in the Bible. Maurice argues that the traditional understanding of sacrifice as a means of appeasing an angry God is a misinterpretation of the biblical text. Instead, he suggests that sacrifice is a symbolic act that represents the giving of oneself to God. He also emphasizes the importance of understanding the historical and cultural context in which the biblical texts were written in order to fully grasp their meaning. Throughout the book, Maurice examines various passages from the Old and New Testaments, including the story of Abraham and Isaac, the sacrificial system of the Israelites, and the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. He draws on his extensive knowledge of theology, philosophy, and history to offer a nuanced and thought-provoking interpretation of these texts. Overall, Strictures On The Doctrine Of Sacrifice Deduced From The Scriptures: A Series Of Sermons (1858) is a valuable resource for anyone interested in exploring the complex and multifaceted concept of sacrifice in the Bible. It offers a fresh perspective on this important topic and encourages readers to engage with the text in a deeper and more meaningful way.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
