Man and His Divine Father
By Editor
"MAN AND HIS DIVINE FATHER," by John C. C. Clarke, D.D. A system of conductive philosophy, beginning with the "Enigma of Life," and discussing the "human person" and the "divine Person," and their relations; the philosophies of history outside of the Bible, and the philosophies of the Old and New Testaments. Unlike most systems of mental and moral philosophy, the author of this exalts God and Christ in their true positions. That there is a philosophy in the plan of salvation no earnest student of the Word can doubt. But we feel sure that much of the persistent effort of this and other systems of so-called philosophy to prove by man's reasoning, and by the old forms of expression and philosophical terms, the truths claimed in the topics considered, serves to bewilder minds by many words, and to obscure the light rather than simplify and make plain. Especially is this so, even tho there be beautiful thoughts and much that is good on certain phases of truth, when there exists, as does in this treatise, an apparently entire misconception of the fundamental reason for the existence of sin, and a sweeping misinterpretation of important prophecies like Daniel and Revelation and other scriptures. And in a subtle and plausible manner its philosophy is permeated with the doctrine of the real man's inherent immortality, which the Word defines as error. 364 pages. Price, cloth, $1.50. A. C.
