An Inquiry Into the Scriptural Import of the Words, Sheol, Hades, Tartarus and Gehenna: Translated Hell in the Common English Version (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from An Inquiry Into the Scriptural Import of the Words, Sheol, Hades, Tartarus and Gehenna: Translated Hell in the Common English Version

Though I read this Inquiry with care and profit in the early part of my ministry, and though in my theological studies I have had frequent occasion to consult its pages, I was never so deeply impressed with its great value as I am now. The author was very thorough in his re searches, and performed the task which he undertook with remarkable ability. While no one had preceded him in his investigation for the purpose which he had in view, none who have followed him have been more thorough and satisfactory. I do not mean by this to say that in every point he attempted to make he was conclusive or clear, or that I concur in every Opinion he expressed but this I mean to say, that he entered upon his labor with a mind well stored with knowledge, that he had that strength and acuteness of intellect which enabled him to write with a powerful pen, and that he has proved his main positions beyond controversy. For honesty of heart, devotion to truth, and respect for the Scriptures, no man was his superior.
