A Common Place Book To The Holy Bible Wherein The Substance Of Scripture Respecting Doctrine, Worship, And Manners, Is Reduced To Its Proper Heads (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781428609129)

""A Common Place Book to the Holy Bible"" is a comprehensive guide to the teachings of the Bible, written by the renowned philosopher John Locke. The book is intended to help readers understand the key doctrines, practices, and moral principles of Christianity by organizing the relevant passages of the Bible into a logical and accessible format. Locke's approach involves identifying and categorizing the major themes of the Bible, such as the nature of God, the role of Jesus Christ, and the importance of faith and good works. He then provides a detailed analysis of each theme, drawing on a wide range of scriptural references and offering his own insights and interpretations. The book is divided into three main sections: Doctrine, Worship, and Manners. The Doctrine section covers topics such as the nature of God, the Trinity, the fall of man, and the atonement. The Worship section explores issues related to prayer, sacraments, and the Sabbath. The Manners section discusses ethical and moral principles, including the Ten Commandments, the virtues, and the duties of Christians towards one another. Overall, ""A Common Place Book to the Holy Bible"" is a valuable resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Bible and its teachings. Locke's clear and concise style makes the book accessible to readers of all levels, while his extensive knowledge of scripture and theology ensures that the content is both informative and insightful.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
