319; the Apocalypse discarded at
the beginning of the Reformation,
320; External arguments the
belief and testimony of the early
fathers, and the church itself, 322;
the shepherd of Hermas, 322; Ig-
natius, 322; Polycarp, 323; Pa-
pius, 323; Melito, 324; Justin
Martyr, 325; many indirect yet
plain references to the Apocalypse,
326; Polycrates, 326; Eusebius
and Irenaeus, 327; Hippolytus,
330: Clement of Alexandria, and
Tertullian, 331; Origen, 332; Cyp-
rian, Victorinus, and writers of
the fourth century, 333; Augustine
and Jerome, 334; authority of
certain councils, 335; the alleged
testimony against the authorship
of the Apocalypse, 335; the objec-
tions of the opponents of the Mon-
tanists, 336; of Marcion, 336; of
Caius, 337; the testimony of Di-
onysius of Alexandria, 339; hesi-
tation of Eusebius, 343; the objec-
tion, that the Apocalypse is not in
the Peschito version, 344; proof
that John the Apostle was the au-
thor from declarations in the book,
551; assertions in the book, that
the author's name was John, 551;
no other designation, given with

the name of John, 552; the diocese
of the Apostle John in the region
of the seven churches, 552; the
words "I, John, who am also your
brother," etc., in ch. i. 9, 553;

and xxi. 14, 555; alleged differ-
ences in the general characteristics

ings of John, 556; the general
differences alleged, unimportant,
558; many points of agreement
between John's writings, 559; the
external victories of Christ neces-
sarily prominent in the Apocalypse,
560; the symbolic mystical char-
acter of the Apocalypse, 561; it
has an air of severity and sharp-
ness, 561; the manner of quoting
from the Old Testament, 563; pe-
culiarities of style, 564; its irregu-
larity and abruptness of style, 565;
the Hebraistic character of the
style, 567; words found in the
other writings and not in the Apoc-
alypse, and the reverse, 569; proof

or omission in the Apocalypse of
the same words as in the other
writings of John, 573; similarity

Authorship of the Pentateuch, article
on, by Samuel C. Bartlett, D.D,
495; authorship, a matter of toxi-
mony, 495; recapulation of former

arguments, 496; the testimony in
favor of the Mosaic authorship,
remarkably strong, 497; deniers
of this authorship would make light
of an explicit statement to that
effect in the Pentateuch, 498; they
make light of the authority of Christ
and the apostles, 499; the evidence
for the Mosaic authorship, liable to
no decisive or even strong objection,
500; the objections of Dr. Davidson
to be particularly noticed, 500;
objectors confine themselves to
what is called "the higher criti-
cism" in reference to the contents
of the Pentateuch, 501; positive
objections, statements and allu-
sions incompatible with the Mosaic
authorship, 502; Von Bohlen's ob-
jections, 502; arithmetical errors,
502; the numbering of the people
near the Red Sea, 504; impossibil-
ity of procuring lambs for the pass-
over, 507; the great disproportion
of families in the first census, 509;
disproportion of the numbers of
first-born sons to the fighting men,
509; errors in regard to the wilder-
ness, 511; this class of objections
an appeal to our ignorance of facts,
511; the turtle doves not to be
found in the wilderness, 511; the
wilderness not a region utterly
desolate, 513; the Sinaitic penin-
sula, not now a scene of utter des-
olation, 514; statements on this
subject from Dr. Robinson and
other travellers, 516; as to the
desert between the Red Sea and
the southern border of Palestine,
519; the present condition of the
desert, not an index of its former
productiveness, 523; statement of
undeniable facts in proof of this,
523; the conditions under which
the march of the Israelites was
performed, 526; quotation from
Bunsen in regard to the condition
of the wilderness, 528; historical
and other notices in the Penta-
teuch implying a post-Mosaic ori-
gin, 529; changes may have been
made in the text, 530; objection
from the statement that "the Ca-
naanite was then in the land," 532;
the words "In Kirjath Arba, the

same is Hebron," 533; the name
"Hormah" in Num. xiv. 45, an
anachronism, 535; Gen. xxxvi. 31,
"these are the kings that reigned
in the land of Edom before there
reigned any king over Israel,” 536;
Gen. xl. 15, "I was taken away
out of the land of the Hebrews,"
537; Lev. xviii. 28 "That the
land spue not you out also when
ye defile it," etc., 537; Ex. vi. 26,
27, "These are that Moses and
Aaron to whom the Lord said,"
etc., 538; Ex. xi. 3, "Moreover
the man Moses was very great,"
etc., 538; Num. xii. 3, "Now the
man Moses was very meek," 539;
the formula" unto this day," 539;
the names Dan and Laish, 549;
Ex. xvi. 35, 36, " And the children
of Israel did eat manna forty
years," etc., 542; Moses' knowing
the situation of Gerizim and Ebal
impossible, 543; from the name
Gilgal, 544; the shekel of the sanc-
tuary, 544; the word "prophet,"
545; Num. xv. 32, the man that
gathered sticks on the Sabbath,
545; supposed proofs that the writ-
er of the Pentateuch must have
lived in Palestine, 546; "legendary
and traditional elements, involving
insuperable inconsistencies," an ob-
jection to the Mosaic authorship,
549; consideration of certain neg-
ative objections, 725; striking omis-
sions, 725; insufficient difference
between the language of the Pen-
tateuch and that of books written
about the time of the captivity,
726 this objection admits of a
threefold answer, 726; the pro-
gressive character of the legislation,
730; the unsuitableness of sections
and paragraphs, often noticed in
the Pentateuch, 731; repetitions
and alleged contradictions, 732;
narratives of different transactions
sometimes brought in as duplicate
accounts of the same, 734; dupli-
cate and conflicting etymologies,
736; discrepant statements, 787;
the incorporation of pre-existing
materials, 738; the fundamental
principle of this objection, arbitrary,
739; simple facts, explained by

assumptions far more difficult, 740; | Beecher's Redeemer and Redeemed,

the chief statements on which the
objection rests will not bear ex-
amination, 741; the positions taken
cannot be consistently carried out,
742; the method of argument used
by objectors loose and vicious,
744; view taken of the subject by
Christian scholars, 747.

Bearing of Modern Scientific Theories

on the Fundamental Truths of Re-
ligion, The, article on, by Andrew
P. Peabody, D. D., 710; statement
of the subject, the great doctrines
of Christian Theism, untouched
by the discoveries of modern sci-
ence, 711; Pantheism as found in
the Greek philosophy, to be rev-
erenced, 711; the Pantheistic ten-
dency has, of late, been made de-
terminate by certain scientific theo-
ries, 712; none of these theories,
valid against Christian truths, 713;
our personality not inseparable
from our bodily organism, 713;
the relation of these scientific the-
ories to miracles, 714; the admis-
sion of these does not exclude the
possibility of miracles, 714; no
physical theory can negative the
historical facts of the New Testa-
ment, 715; the same is true of the
divine element in the scriptures.
716; the development-theories im-
ply the divine personality, 717;
pantheism cannot account for the
beginning of the universe, 717; un-
beginning existence necessary,718;
the bearing of general laws on the
question of divine personality, 719;
the ordinary course of nature, gov-
erned by general laws, either uni-
form or variable, 719; uniformity
implies mind, 720; this especially
true in the light of the latest pha-
sis of physical science, 720; no
such harmony in nature as to ex-
clude the necessity of a personal
God, 721; illustrative examples,
722; the divine personality should
be recognized in relation to our
present national struggle, 723.

Confidence, the youngest Daughter of

Caution, article on, by Leonard
Withington, D.D., 180; the Bible
everywhere gives token that it
comes from an omniscient mind,
180; all the principles of the Bi-
ble rest on a stable foundation, 180;
the Bible makes provision for evils
which did not exist when it was
written, 182; its provisions in ref-
erence to objections which science
would hereafter raise, 183; infan-
tine views taken in the Bible of
the material creation, 183; the Bi-
ble has made provision for these
objections, 184; it has not foretold
these objections, 185; the Bible
teaches the ignorance of man and
his ignorance after discovery, 185;
fulness and completion not to be
ascribed to a science prematurely,
187; the Bible clearly insulates its
own province and knows nothing
beyond it, 188; it frequently cau-
tions us to beware of philosophy,
189; geologists too dogmatic, 192;
the attempts of geologists to recon-
cile the first chapter of Genesis
with geological discoveries, 194;
quotation from Calvin's Commen-
taries, 195; Moses did not intend
to teach geology, 197; many inter-
pretations of the Bible by geolo-
gists too dogmatic and positive,
198; the premature joy felt by
scientific men at some alleged sim-
ilitude, 200; geologists should be
less articulate and definite, 202;
the opinion that geology alone
proves a supernatural interposition
among the operations of nature,

Doctrine of God's Providence, in it-
self, and in its Relations and Uses,
The, article on, by Benjamin W.
Dwight, D.D., 584; society ever
slowly oscillating from one ex-
treme to another, 584; the highest
religious thought culminates in the
realization of God's personal prov-
idence, 584; the imagination ex-
erts its highest powers in bringing
home the immortal objects of re-
vealed faith, 585; God, the neces-
sary counterpart to our own being,
587; our capabilities for realizing
great divine truth, cannot now be
fully divined, 587; the fact of
God's providence, 588; this fact
intimated on every page of the
Bible, 588; testified to by human
experience, and especially in Chris-
tianity, 589; God's providence
always in an incomplete condition,
590; God's providence testified to
in the natural sciences, 591; the
characteristic features of God's
providence, 592; its origination
in the humanity of God's heart,
592; the vast comprehensiveness
of the plan of God's providence,
593; the government of the world
by general laws, 594; God's mak-
ing all things conduce to the suc-
cessful issue of his universal provi-
dence, 597; his own inexorable
withdrawment from human view
in the management of his provi-
dence, 598; his patience in the
execution of his purposes, 593; two
leading authropomorphic concep-
tions of God's providence, 600;
the interior principles of the ad-
ministration of God's providence,
601; they are twofold in their
form or style, being either those of
direct agency or simple permission,
601; God's decrees, 601; God's de-
crees of two sorts, absolute and con-
ditional, 603; forms and directions
of God's permissive providence,
604; he allows full scope to evil
human action, 604; he allows men
to sway the characters and desti-

nies of others, 605; vast negations
of attainable good to preceding
generations, G07; great inequali-
ties allowed in human experience,
608; the promotion of the greatest
good the final end of God's provi-
dence, 609; in all outward change,
God ever the same, 610; the con-
nection of God's providence with
other things, 611; the course of na-
ture, fore-ordained, 611; vitalized
by the will of God, 612; the su-
preme blessings of life, spiritual,
613; good often conferred without
any use of the outward course of
nature, 613; three ways of con-
ceiving of God's sovereignty, 615;
connections of divine providence
with human agency, threefold,
616; grace the constant form of
his sovereign good will to men, 616;
the immediate designs of God's
providence to perfect virtue in the
human heart, 616; men have but
little power to interpret God's
providences, 617; mistakes of those
who deny divine interest in human
affairs, 617; God's providence has
vast and universal bearings, 618;
the function and value of miracles,
619; the connection of God's prov-
idence with his own feelings con-
cerning it, 620; God has demon-
strated his love of beauty, 622;
thorns and briars have their moral
uses, 623; diseases teach useful
moral lessons, 625; the elements
of nature held in quiet action for
man's good, 627; the great generic
forms of God's providence, 628;
his maintenance of the course of
nature, 628; the laws of social life
and order, 628; his gift of ordinary
daily blessings, 628; his gift of
spiritual blessings, 630; great moral
lessons to be drawn from the doc-
trine of God's providence, 632;

son, D.D., 425, 666.
Examination of Philip. iii. 2 and Rev.
xx. 4, article by Prof. John J.
Owen,362; the resurrection spoken
of in Philip., a resurrection of the
righteous dead, 363; why should
Paul have so earnestly labored to
attain to this resurrection, 364;
the resurrection to which he as-
pired of a more special significancy,
365; the Greek word used, not
ἀνάστασις but ἐξανάστασις, 365 ; the
latter term equivalent to resurrec-
tion from the dead in 1 Pet. i. 3,
and Acts iv. 2, 366; "the dead
does not mean the wicked dead,
367; a prior resurrection of the
pious dead taught elsewhere in the
New Testament, 368; the day of
judgment not a day of twenty-four
hours, 369; a prior resurrection
plainly taught in Rev. xx. 4, 5,
370; the thousand years of Satan's
confinement and of the martyr-
reign not contemporaneous, 371;
the prior resurrection physical, and
not merely symbolical, 871; what
persons are to reign in the second
thousand years, 373; the "living
again" here spoken of, a revival
of the martyr spirit, 873; not a
mere increase of happiness and
joy for departed saints, 375; it is
a resurrection of the bodies of saints
and martyrs, 375; this proved by
the antithetical meaning of ἀνέζησαν
and (noav, 376; no violation of
scripture analogy in this interpre-
tation, 378; what class of persons
meant in the words "the rest of the
dead," 379; it means the pious
dead, 379; this confirmed by the
expression" this is the first resur-
rection," 379; this idea may be
taught nowhere else in the scrip-
tures, 381; no valid objection that
it supposes some saints raised to
heaven without passing through
the judgment, 381.
