John the Baptist: The Congregational Union Lecture for 1874 (Classic Reprint)FB&C Limited, 2018 - 580 עמודים Excerpt from John the Baptist: The Congregational Union Lecture for 1874 Hen I was honoured by the request of the committee of the Congregational Union of England and Wales to prepare a treatise which might, by their favour, be placed in the well-known series of works entitled Congregational Lectures, that re quest was coupled, on the part of the committee, with a considerate recognition of the probability that the public delivery of the lectures would have, in my case, to be foregone. I have now to state that the Congregational Lecture here offered to the public has not been de livered to a larger audience than a select class of students in a theological college. This may account for some peculiarities of treatment. My choice of theme was in part determined by observing the comparatively small space in biblical literature which has been devoted to the mission of John the Baptist. This has seemed to me remark able, considering the unique position occupied by him in the history and order of Divine revelation.
