Moses, The Law-Giver - CCS by William M Taylor and published by Classics Publishing.
Taylor writes in the preface: “In issuing this new series of biographical discourses, it is not necessary to say much by way of preface. To the study of the life of Moses I have been drawn for years, and the preparation of these Lectures has been more of a joy than of a labour. I began with admiration of the Hebrew leader; but as I advanced that grew into appreciation of his character and work, and that again developed into love. I have tried to speak of him as he was, without magnifying his excellences, or apologizing for his faults; and while setting him as fully as possible in the environment of his own age, I have been most solicitous to point the lessons for to-day which are so plentifully suggested by the story of the Hebrew Exodus.
I have not been unmindful that Moses was the precursor of Christ, and I have sought to show the intimate connection which subsists between the Old Covenant and the New. I have read the history of the Wandering in the light of the Gospel by John; I have studied the meaning of the Ritual at the feet of the author of the Epistle to the Hebrews; and I am not without the hope that my readers may rise from the perusal of these pages with a clearer comprehension than they had before of the place of Moses, and the system which goes by his name, in the education of the world for the recognition and reception of its Redeemer.”
