Idea of Creation; Its Origin and Its Value

William Caldwell

Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. I am indebted to Professor George Burman Foster for suggest ing the subject, for helpful hints as to the treatment and for much besides not easy to designate. I can not refrain from a fuller expression of deep indebted ness to my lamented friend and instructor, President William Rainey Harper, under whose guidance and inspiration the Old Testament materials were worked out. Under his leadership the Old Testament became more human and more divine. Out of the historical and critical study there emerged a new spiritual unity and a new e-thieo-religious value, as the supreme purpose [of crea tion and redemption was seen fulfilling itself in many ways through an age-long process; and the divine authority remained, not because supported by isolated texts torn from their contexts, but because through all the process the one increasing purpose was manifest, the purpose of holy love.
