{"product_id":"2940011823619","title":"The Epistles of St. Paul to the Thessalonians, Galatians and Romans: Essays and Dissertations","description":"IT is a strange, though familiar fact, that great differences of     opinion exist respecting the Interpretation of Scripture. All     Christians receive the Old and New Testament as sacred writings, but     they are not agreed about the meaning which they attribute to them. The     book itself remains as at the first; the commentators seem rather to     reflect the changing atmosphere of the world or of the Church.     Different individuals or bodies of Christians have a different point of     view, to which their interpretation is narrowed or made to conform. It     is assumed, as natural and necessary, that the same words will present     one idea to the mind of the Protestant, another to the Roman Catholic;     one meaning to the German, another to the English interpreter. The     Ultramontane or Anglican divine is not supposed to be impartial in his     treatment of passages which afford an apparent foundation for the     doctrine of purgatory or the primacy of St. Peter on the one hand, or     the three orders of clergy and the divine origin of episcopacy on the     other. It is a received view with many, that the meaning of the Bible     is to be defined by that of the Prayer-book; while there are other's     who interpret the Bible and the Bible only' with a silent reference to     the traditions of the Reformation. Philosophical differences are in the     background, into which the differences about Scripture also resolve     themselves. They seem to run up at last into a difference of opinion     respecting Revelation itself--whether given beside the human faculties     or through them, whether an interruption of the laws of nature or their     perfection and fulfilment.","brand":"New Century Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47068403892464,"sku":"2940011823619","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940011823619_p0.jpg?v=1763550146","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940011823619","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
