Excerpt from Anthropological Religion: The Bifford Lectures Delivered Before the University of Glasgow in 1891 At all events, to admit the fundamental principle of what is contemptuously called the German or critical school. It is true that Dr. Newman excepts some miracles, but who is to judge which miracles are to be excepted, and which are to be interpreted as natural events, misapprehended by those who witnessed and those who recorded them, whether in the Old or in the New Testament? It should be remembered also that the miracle of the Manna in the Desert is a miracle to which Christ referred (st. John vi. But which as usual He interpreted in a higher sense, when He said 'verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven, but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
