With wisdom from above, Ellet J. Waggoner takes the things that are written for our admonition and spells out "the moral of the story" in child-like simplicity. Following Abraham in his departure from Mesopotamia and the wilderness wanderings of his posterity though to their entrance into Caanan, Waggoner presents the parallels of the Old and New Testaments in such a plain and remarkable manner that it expands the consciousness of the reader. Himself following in the spirit and manner of Apostle Paul, he preaches the eternal atonement of Jesus Christ, who is as verily "crucified among you" today, as He was in the days of Abraham.
