Excerpt from A Discourse Concerning the Divine Providence The publisher of the present edition of Dr. Sherlock's celebrated work on the "Divine Providence," feels assured that he need offer no apology for bringing it out at this time. The great importance of the subject; the unquestioned ability with which it is discussed; the fact, that for many years the work has been out of print, and the frequent calls that have been made for it, during his several years' experience in the book business, together with the high estimation in which it is held by the following clergymen, who have cheerfully furnished recommendatory notices, he thinks fully warrant him in presenting it before the public in a new and greatly improved dress. Recommendatory Notices. Rev. J. L. Read: - I heartily approve of your intention to publish "Sherlock on Providence." I read the work years ago, and have regarded it ever since as one of the most valuable theological works in my library. You have my best wishes for success. Dr. Sherlock's Essay on "Divine Providence" has earned for itself a reputation amongst the pious and thinking both of this and the Old World. To those who have not had the opportunity or privilege of knowing its worth, it may be said, (to others it is needless, ) that it is a most judicious, scriptural, and practical discussion of this difficult, but most delightful doctrine.

Excerpt from Man's Partnership With Divine Providence There is scarce any doctrine in the whole compass of revelation, which is of deeper importance than this. And, at the same time, there is scarce any that is so little regarded, and perhaps so little understood.' The Book of Divine Providence is bigger than the Bible. It covers the course of universal history, it includes the story of all nations and all lives. It deals with the creation of the earth, it traces its progress and development from generation to genera tion. The subject first wove its spell around the writer when he reached that memorable question in the Methodist Catechism: 'what is God's providence?' and learnt the answer: 'his most holy, wise, and powerful preservation and government of all His creatures and all their actions.'

Excerpt from The Divine Providence The chief value of the philosophy of supernatural fact contained in Swedenborg's writings is, that it enables us to form rational conceptions of the universe as thee-centric that is, as being constantly dependent in every minutest part of it, physical and mental, on a creative act of God, and yet as being separate from God, no part of it being God, although it constantly subsists from Him. It may, indeed, be described as a spiritual counterpart of the Copernican discovery. It enables us to View the universe, as it were, from the Divine standpoint; to see it, in some finite measure, as God sees it infinitely; and obviously this must be the only true way of thinking about it if the universe is in any intelligible sense a Divine creation. If it were produced by a mere fiat of omnipotent and arbitrary power, it might very well be totally unintelligible to man. But if order and process reign in it from first to last, our only hope of under standing it lies in acquiring some conception of what that order is, and this means that we must have some conception of its purpose. For order would be meaningless apart from purpose, because it would aim at nothing and consequently accomplish nothing. A true philosophy of creation, there fore, involves a knowledge of its purpose or use, and this can only come from revelation, for no one but God can give us any certain knowledge about Himself. Swedenborg there fore supports his teaching at every point by references to that supreme revelation which he calls The Word, and which is contained in our Bible, though not co-extensive with it.

Excerpt from Divine Conduct or the Mystery of Providence, Wherein the Being and Efficacy of Providence Are Asserted and Vindicated The greatness of God is a glorious and unsearchable mystery. "The Lord most high is terrible; he is a great King over all the earth," Psal. xlvii. 2. The condescension of the most high God to men is also a profound mystery. "Though the Lord be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly," Psal. cxxxviii. 6. But when both these meet together, as they do in this Scripture, they make up a matchless mystery. Here we find the most high God performing all things for a poor distressed creature. It is the great support and solace of the saints in all the distresses that befall them here, that there is a wise Spirit sitting in all the wheels of motion, and governing the most eccentric creatures, and their most pernicious designs, to blessed and happy issues. And, indeed, it were not worth while to live in a world devoid of God and providence. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
