Peake and Grice on Revelations

As Warner/Teasely (1918) hymn indicates: the Scriptural sources here are two: Hebrews and Revelations.

Let's recall that among the unpublications left by Grice there was one entitled: "From Genesis to Revelations: new discourse on metaphysics"

Cfr. this with Arthur S. Peake's old book -- "Christianity: Its Nature and Its Truth"

"There can, indeed, be no doubt that from

some points of view the prospect thus held

out to us is an alluring one. To soar away

from the dreary earth into the rare atmosphere of

beautiful ideas, to reach that peaceful region

where we are no longer in the rough and tumble

of historical controversy, to have gone where

critics cease from troubling, that

would be a delightful experience. How exhilarating

to be born upward on the bold unfettered wing

of pure speculation till we have scaled

the cloudy ramparts and found ourselves at

home in the city of eternal truth!"

(p. 140).
