AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Allestree intended The Lively Oracles Given to Us to complement his treatise on the divine use of the word, The Government of the Tongue. While The Government of the Tongue deals with the spoken word, The Lively Oracles Given to Us addresses the proper use and application of the received word—Holy Scripture. Allestree addresses topics such as the purpose of Scripture, the authority of Scripture, the interpretation of Scripture, and its relation to the incarnation of Christ. While Allestree bases his argument on historical and theological tradition, he also offers practical advice for reading the Bible. With this book, he succeeds in uniting two virtues that are too often separated: science and common sense.

3rd edition, At the Theater in Oxford, 1679. Printed by Jo. Nicholas. Vice Chancellor. Oxford, June 10, 1678.
