The Gospel According to St. Luke [HARDCOVER] (RARE BOOKS)

The verb here is that from which our English Happy word catechise directly comes. Paul also uses it in Romans (ii. 18) when he speaks of the Jew as being instructed out Of the law. As one reads the phrase one can hear the droning of the pupils in the Jewish schools, repeating ancient words and legal maxims, until exact repetition has made these things a permanent possession. Here is a New and happier instruction, - not legal but evangelical, not dry as the dust of ages but fresh as life's clear well-spring, - the story of Jesus, Son of Man, Son of God, the Saviour of the World. Can one depict the eagerness with which a quickened soul, who had already learned some of the facts, would welcome the written record which was to lead him farther into fields so fresh and fair?
