Solomon’s Prayer and Modern Theology

By Rev. A. F. Schauffer

It has been the habit of some to deny the intelligence of men living in the centuries before Christ, to the great advantage of those living after the advent, and especially of those living in the year 1884. A careful study of this prayer [Solomon's, 1 Kings 8: 22-53] may help to correct this mistake. The theology of many “wise men” in our times might very profitably be exchanged for that of Solomon, or even for that of the much-abused Jacob. Modern improvements still leave much to be desired, whether they run along the line of “new theologies,” “higher criticisms,” or open denials.—Rev. A. F. Schauffer.
