The Antediluvian History, and Narrative of the Flood: As Set Forth in the Early Portions of the Book of Genesis; Critically Examined and Explained (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Antediluvian History, and Narrative of the Flood: As Set Forth in the Early Portions of the Book of Genesis; Critically Examined and Explained

The interpretation which is presented in this work of the first seven chapters of Genesis is founded on the following general principle; namely, that the letter of the Word of God contains within it a Spiritual sense, which is as its life and soul. This principle, it is believed, will commend itself to the soundest judgment and best feelings of religious and thinking men. Evidences of the existence of this principle can be pro duced from every page of the sacred volume; and it is ration ally confirmed by the circumstance that, as a work of God, it must, to be in analogy with all His other works, contain within it something more than that which appears upon the surface, and something different therefrom.
