The Brazen Serpent: Or Life Coming Through Death (1879)

The Brazen Serpent: Or Life Coming Through Death is a book written by Thomas Erskine and originally published in 1879. The book explores the Christian concept of salvation through the metaphor of the brazen serpent, which was raised by Moses in the wilderness to heal those who had been bitten by poisonous snakes. Erskine argues that the brazen serpent represents Christ, who was lifted up on the cross to save humanity from the poison of sin. The book delves into the nature of sin and the need for redemption, as well as the transformative power of Christ's sacrifice. Erskine also discusses the role of faith in salvation and the importance of living a life of love and service to others. The Brazen Serpent is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of Christian theology and the nature of spiritual transformation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
