As I explained in the chapter „All Elaborated: The Blood‟, having seen that I had overloaded that chapter with extracts, scattering shot far too-widely, and that this muffled the impact of what I am trying to say, I decided to slim down the extracts. However, I was loathe to omit the space – the weight – the post-Pentecost Scriptures give to the blood of Christ in terms, not only of his blood, but of his sufferings, death, cross, and so on, and what this means in the redemption of the elect. Consequently, I have compromised by putting the original material into this Appendix, while trimming the chapter, hoping that this re-arrangement will go some way to meeting both ends. |
