The Songs of the Holy Nativity, Considered: I, as Recorded in Scripture, II, as in Use in the Church (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Excerpt from The Songs of the Holy Nativity, Considered: I, as Recorded in Scripture, II, as in Use in the Church Do not the Evangelical Canticles claim a separate study and treatment? Is it not meet that they should have a book to themselves? That is suggested by their unique character; being the only voices of their kind in the New Testament; all evoked by one event, and contained in one record; all alike in their theme and in their tone; in Scripture heard from afar, and in the congregation sounding at our side. They have had their various treatment in commentaries and sermons, but a more concentrated attention and a more comprehensive consideration are involved in the intention of a separate work, and I am not aware that any such book is extant. There is then nothing superfluous in making the attempt, which has resulted in these pages. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
