The Two Covenants: And the Second Blessing. E-book. Formato PDF. IT is Often said that the great aim Of the preacher ought to be to translate Scripture truth from its Jewish form into the language and the thought of the nineteenth century, and SO to make it intelligible and acceptable to our ordi nary Christians. It is to be feared that the ex periment will do more harm than good. In the course Of the translation the force Of the original is lost. The scholar who trusts to translations will never become a master Of the language he wants to learn. A race Of Christians will be raised up, to whom the language Of God's Word, and with that the God who spoke it, will be strange. In the Scripture words not a little of Scripture truth will be lost. For the true Chris tian life nothing is so healthful and invigorating as to have each man come and study for him self the very words in which the Holy Ghost has spoken.
