Creator Hitchcock, Edward, 1793-1864
Title The cross in nature and nature in the cross
Date Issued 1861
Abstract An article by Edward Hitchcock extracted from volume 18, number 20 of Bibliotheca Sacra and Biblical Repository, explaining a statement Hitchcock had made years prior that he had found "something of the Cross in nature, and something of nature in the Cross." Hitchcock claims that the entire creation of the world has been intended as a sort of theater for redemption, meant to show the glory of redemption and demonstrate God's benevolence. He uses arguments rooted in science and history to defend his position, bringing up some arguments against his theory and explaining why they are incorrect. Hitchcock has written "With the author's sincere respects" in the upper right corner of the first page.
