Higher Criticism and Early Training: The Last Address of the Late Dr. Parker of the City Temple, London, Eng (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Higher Criticism and Early Training: The Last Address of the Late Dr. Parker of the City Temple, London, Eng

When I think of all our Dissenting training I some times break down; my tears are hot and bitter. Let us dwell upon some aspects of this training for a time. We were brought up amongst simple, nusus pecting believers. They told us that the Bible was all true. They called it The Holy Bible, and they held it to be such. They told us that Eden was a real place, with real trees, and a real serpent. They told us that a four-branched river rolled through the sunny paradise; we thought that Adam bathed in Hiddekel; and that the gold that colored the Pison stream was solid, and yellow, and marketable. We never doubted it. The place on the map was pointed out, with the assurance that if Eden was not there it was thereabouts. Some people believe this still. The Salvation Army believes it. Some primitive Primitive Methodists believe it, - Spurgeon believed it. In its highest, deepest, grandest meaning I myself believe it.
