About the Book

Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: LECTURE III. HUMAN SACRIFICES. T DEVOTED one Lecture to the general character -- and situation of Abraham; because when we have to judge upon one very remarkable act of a man, it is an advantage to have the man himself before us. An explanation popular with one school, of the act of the sacrifice of Isaac, is, that it was simply one of the class of human sacrifices which were common at that day, and especially among the Canaanitish races; that Abraham was seized with an enthusiasm of that sanguinary type which propitiated God by human victims; and that he made Isaac the victim. It does not appear to me that such a solution is at all necessary, but that, on the contrary, it clashes with the whole history of Abraham, and the whole colour of his life and character; while at the same time it degrades and calumniates the Patriarch. That the Patriarch of that day should not meet the miraculous evidence of a Divine command to slay an innocent son, by the same counter internal evidence that we should oppose to it now, and that he was unable to feel this inward impediment, on account of the defective moral and political conceptions of that day, ?the inadequate sense of human individuality and human rights, ?is anexplanation which does not lower the Patriarch in our eyes; because it only charges him with ideas which belonged to that age of the world, and were necessary in that stage of human progress. This explanation acknowledges a Divine command, and that the act was done in obedience to a Divine command; and it only requires that the command was accommodated to an earlier state of ideas regarding the human being and his rights. But to attribute to Abraham such a defective state of ideas on this subject is a totally different thing from implicating him in a gross and cruel superstitio.
