The Divine Side of the Bible.
Anyone can see the human side of the Bible ; anyone, perhaps, can see its uniqueness, and stand on the threshold which must be crossed before the Divine side can be reached. But to appreciate aright the Divine side of the Scriptures is the gift of that Spirit by Whom they are inspired; spiritual things are spiritually discerned. In these things the simplest and most unlearned reader may penetrate to depths to which the most eminent critic's keenest instruments give him no access, of the very existence of which the critic may have no inkling. Or if the critic, as such, has an inkling of this aspect of the Bible of which his science is not cognisant, it is because, as a student of human nature and human history, he cannot ignore the enormous weight of evidence supplied by the accumulated testimony of the words and lives of millions for whom the Scriptures have clearly containined secrets of most transcendant value. — Rev. Lonsdale Ragg.
