Andrew Murray's great volume, Holy in Christ, is now available on-line and I thought it would be helpful to make this easily accessible to my readers. It may be that it has been accessible for some time already. You can find it on biblos or better yet by clicking on the following link: http://christianbookshelf.org/murray/holy_in_christ/index.html.
The best part is that the on-line version includes Murray's notes from the back of his volume on the meaning of holy. He gives some wonderful insight on the scholarship for the meaning of holy at his own time of the late 1800s (and early 1900s). He also points out the meaning of holy used by people like Jonathan Edwards. Part of my work will be to dig up some of the work of these older scholars that he mentions and to make their commments easily accessible on the internet.
The other thing is that Holy in Christ is often difficult to find, since some publishers elect to use a different title. I hope you will do some of your own digging now that it is more easily accessible.
The digging might include digging into the scholarship he mentions, because the works of these people are also becoming more accessible through the internet, the far reaching services of public libraries, and through publishers who care to preserve books of the past. Google Books also allows you to download some of the older sources as a free E-book. The only downside is that some of them are incomplete at this point.
Enjoy your hunting! I hope you will discover both new things and old things.
In Christ,
Pastor Jon
