Description:The Intercession of Our Lord By Joseph Buchanan Bernardin New York Columbia University Press M. cm-xxxiii COPYRIGHT 1933 COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY PRESS Published 1933 PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA THE CAYUGA PRESS, ITHACA, NEW YORK PARENTIBUS OPTIMIS STUDIORUM FAUTORIBUS HAS PRIMITIAS LABORIS MEI DEDICO PREFACE We are so accustomed to ending our liturgical prayers with through Jesus Christ our Lord that any former theological significance of the phrase has long ago faded into an endeared convention that it is the proper and fitting close of every correctly con structed prayer. And yet there was a time when the phrase wa regnantjwith meaning, a real belief that mans prayers are presented to the Father by the Son, the great High Priest of humanity, and thereby take on a new significance in His eyes which they would not otherwise have. Heaven was a very real place patterned after earth, with a palace and temple for its heavenly King in the first of which Christ as the Son sat on the right hand of the Father and had immediate access to His ear, and in the second of which He acted as the Great High Priest. And it was only through Him that those who were His disciples thought of approaching God. This mode of realistic picture thinking has in a large measure passed out of serious theological thought, and in Protestant theology the doctrine of the intercession of our Lord has for some time dropped into the background, although lingering on in liturgical phrases dating from an earlier era. Vlll PREFACE In this book 1 an attempt is made to trace the origin and early history of the doctrine. The material was originally gathered while the author was a student at the Union Theological Seminary, New York City. For whatever it may contain that is good, I am indebted to my teachers there, Professorsjam. es E. Frame, E. F. Scott, F. J. Foakes Jackson, and James Moffatt, whose inspiring scholarship and kind patience made study an adventurous pleasure. To another former teacher, Pro fessor H. A, Wolf son of Harvard University, I am in debted for his gracious kindness in verifying the references to rabbinic sources. Professor Robert P. Casey of the University of Cincinnati and the Rev. Dr. Edward R. Hardy, Jr. of the General Theological Seminary, New York City, have read the work in proof, and I am deeply grateful to them for their valuable and helpful criticism. J. B.
