Introduction

Mr. Jukes maintains that the acts of God in the natural world, and the events that spring from them, are types of analogous acts and events in the spiritual world; and it is the aim of his volume to draw a parallel between the creation of the earth and man, and the renovation of the mind by the Spirit, and to show that Adam, Cain, Abel, Noah, Abraham, and others, are types, in their experiences and characters, of the experiences and characters of men generally in the sphere of religion.
