Biblical Revision, its duties and conditions: A sermon preached in St. Paul's Cathedral at the special evening service, on Sunday, March 13, 1870

Description

Henry Alford delivers a masterful defense of biblical revision in this 1870 sermon preached at St. Paul's Cathedral. Alford argues that the text of Scripture is not static but has been revised over centuries by the church and scholars, and that modern biblical criticism is not an attack but a necessary clarification. He demonstrates how the canon has evolved and how the church's own traditions have reshaped biblical interpretation, calling for a more honest engagement with the text's history.\n\nThis is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of biblical canon, the development of Christian theology, and the evolution of biblical studies. Alford's writing is clear, persuasive, and deeply engaged with the intellectual traditions of his time. The EPUB edition preserves the original sermon format while making it accessible to modern readers interested in biblical studies and religious history.
