"In order to be able to expound the Scriptures, and as an aid to your pulpit studies, you will need to be familiar with the commentators: a glorious army, let me tell you, whose acquaintance will be your delight and profit. Of course, you are not such wiseacres as to think or say that you can expound Scripture without assistance from the works of divines and learned men who have laboured before you in the field of exposition. If you are of that opinion, pray remain so, for you are not worth the trouble of conversion, and like a little coterie who think with you, would resent the attempt as an insult to your infallibility. It seems odd, that certain men who talk so much of what the Holy Spirit reveals to themselves, should think so little of what He has revealed to others." --Charles H. Spurgeon "By despising all that has preceded us, we teach others to despise ourselves." --William Hazlitt "Not to know what has transacted in former times is to continue always a child." --Cicero The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction. (Proverbs 1:7 ESV) |

I believe in an earlier post it was said, "these are good and not to be trod upon", pertaining to commentators and historians, that that point might have been overlooked. And, looking back on multitudes of previous posts, we can see a vast number of quotes and referrals to these great persons of the past, however, we cannot say that a foot has no need for an eye or the eye is foolish because of its needs. When this happens the foot must say to the eye, "I shall turn the other cheek". eklektos |
