Excerpt from book: CHAPTER HI. SYSTEMATIC INTERPRETATION IN THE CHURCH. Technical theology has been so little studied in these latter generations in England, that I feel constrained to give some account of the methods of interpretation that have been recognised in Christian By the most famous expositors of Scripture, then, the meaning of it has been commonly set The tour down under two distinct heads?(1) the literal, and (2) the spiritual. The latter again divides itself into three distinct branches, one of which treats of individual human action, and is called, in the Latin phrase, (a) Tropologia; the second branch is that which applies a passage of Scripture to the Church upon earth, and is known as (b) Allegoria; and the third, (c) Anagogia, is that which refers the phrases of Scripture to the life and conditions of future glory. In a word, according to the old Latin couplet, the literal sense informsyou of fact; Allegoria, informs you of what you are to believe; Anagogia, of what you are to hope for; and Tropologia, of what you are to do. The exact bearing, however, of these terms will be best understood from some examples of their use. There are two passages in S. Jerome's works where he occupies himself with formally assigning a meaning to these terms, which he himself employs so frequently. The first occurs in his commentary on Ezekiel, chap. xvi. Starting from the Vulgate version of Prov. xxii. 25: Lo, I have written it to thee threefold in counsels and knowledge ?a version by the way which lies very close to one acceptation of the original Hebrew text?S. Jerome proceeds: ? It is enjoined upon us that we understand the oracles of truth, that is the Holy Scrip- 8. Jerome. tures in a threefold sense. First, according to the letter; secondly, in an intermediate sense...

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Charles Spurgeon (19 June 1834 – 31 January 1892) is one of the church’s most famous preachers and Christianity’s foremost prolific writers. Called the “Prince of Preachers,” he was one of England's most notable ministers for most of the second half of the nineteenth century, and he still remains highly influential among Christians of different denominations today. His sermons have spread all over the world, and his many printed works have been cherished classics for decades. Spurgeon preached to more than 10 million people in his lifetime and many times each week. For 38 years in London he was the pastor of the congregation of the New Park Street Chapel later known as Metropolitan Tabernacle. He was a prolific writer and produced many kinds of works including sermons, commentaries, and autobiography, as well as books on prayer, devotionals, magazines, poetry, hymns and much more. His ability to speak and provoke thought with divine inspiration has amazed audiences in his lifetime as well as now. Spurgeon’s messages have been considered the best literature worldwide. While he is most remembered for being a minster and having a church, his most powerful influence was that he exercised on his fellow ministers and theological students. He organized a college, trained approximately 850 students, spoke at an annual conference of ministers, and looked at this as just part of ’life’s labour and delight’ and these facts are not known as well today. These lectures are filled with down to earth practical points and advice for young ministers. His sense of humor seasons his lectures with an air of refreshment that cannot be found elsewhere. Spurgeon's Lectures to my Students, contains the substance of Spurgeon's regular Friday afternoon addresses to the college students. This new complete and unabridged publication by Delmarva Publications offers a linked table of contents and a new format for ease of reading.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Spurgeon's classic lecture series is paired with a carefully annotated catalogue of Biblical commentaries available in his day. This book is invaluable both to students of the Bible and pastors looking to expand their library of scriptural reference works. Spurgeon lists commentaries of specific Biblical books as well as the whole Bible--many of which are still in use today. Especially helpful are the crisp and instructive comments Spurgeon attaches to each reference work in his catalogue. This exhaustive listing of secondary resources is both a compendium of useful knowledge and a revealing (and sometimes amusing) look into the mind of the great preacher.
