Letter And Spirit: Winchester Lectures (1880)

By Richard Metcalf

Book Overview

Letter and Spirit: Winchester Lectures (1880) is a book written by Richard Metcalf. The book is a collection of lectures given by Metcalf at the Winchester Cathedral in 1880. The lectures discuss the relationship between the literal interpretation of the Bible (the letter) and its spiritual meaning (the spirit). Metcalf argues that the two are not mutually exclusive and that a deeper understanding of the spiritual meaning can enhance one's understanding of the literal text. He also explores the history of biblical interpretation and the role of tradition in understanding the Bible. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in biblical interpretation and the relationship between faith and reason.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
