Around the Wicket Gate: or, a friendly talk with seekers concerning faith in the Lord Jesus Christ
Spurgeon, C. H. (Charles Haddon)
Christian life; Faith; Salvation
From the Preface: "This volume does not claim to march in the front
ranks of Assyrian scholars. The writer has not excavated mounds
hitherto unknown and interpreted the tablets he found there, as our own
'Wolfe Expedition' has done so well. His has been the humbler aim of
making a larger number acquainted with the work that has been done, and
with some at least of the results obtained. He has sought to gather up
the fragments, that nothing be lost; so that humble believers who have
been startled by the noise of the battle now raging round the Word may
have their hearts reassured by the corroborations of the truth that lie
stored up in every ancient mound, and are brought to light by the pick
of the explorer.
"Many facts of history in the royal inscriptions, many incidents of
the daily life recorded on the tablets, illustrate and confirm the
Scripture record.
"One object of these pages has been to give a general idea of the
progress that has been made in this interesting department of
archæology."
