Excerpt from Sons of God: SermonsThe third chapter of St. Luke contains the strangest family-tree ever erected. Its root is God, its stem Adam, Noah, Abraham and his descend ants, and the fruit is Jesus. There is no break in the descent anywhere. There is no intimation in the record anywhere that at some point a new kind of being has come in. The author seems to assume With the strangest simplicity that all the persons named are of the same Species. That like begets like is one of the truisms of human science and human experience. When father, son, and grand son are Spoken of, it is assumed Without question that they all belong to the same kind of being.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
