Its Origin, Historical Character, and Relation to New Testament Fulfilment. BY DR. EDWARD RIEHM, PROFESSOR OF THEOLOGY, HALLE. EXTRACT FROM A LETTER WRITTEN BY THE AUTHOR TO THE TRANSLATOR. "IT gives me great pleasure to hear that you have taken the trouble to translate my treatise on Messianic Prophecy into the English language. I have found that many believing theologians in Germany, who were suspicious of criticism and severe historical exegesis, have testified that they are reconcilable both with faith in divine revelation under the Old Testament economy, and the acknowledgment that all divine prophecy is Yea and Amen in Christ Jesus. It was the third section especially which had this result. I shall be glad if the treatise wins the same testimony from English readers, for thereby the way will be prepared for an understanding and reconciliation between the orthodox and the historico-critical direction of Old Testament science. PROF. D. ED. RIEHM." |
