Excerpt from The Heart of the Gospel: Traits of the Sacred HeartThe chapters in this book had their origin in a desire to find out the meaning and use of the word heart in the New Testament and to apply that revealed teaching to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The various texts were studied with the help of approved commentators, and their meaning accurately determined, as far as was necessary for the purpose in view. No new interpretations were ventured upon and, in some cases, interpretations which might be looked upon as less probable were accepted, when it was thought they could better further the religious and devotional scope of the articles.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
