Here indeed is a continuous book, because a book of Hope. Here is that which may cheer those who have kept up, amidst infinite confusions, the dream of a God who makes Himself incarnate, that he may be a deliverer, the dream of voluntary sacrifice, the dream of a glorious Avatar! The Book can set these dreams in order, can show how substantial they are, can remove the abominations with which they have been mingled, by telling from Whom they have proceeded, in Whom they are fulfilled.
