"Bible Emblems" by Edward Eli Seelye is a theological work composed in the late 19th century. The book explores various biblical symbols and themes, focusing on the importance of divine grace and God’s support in human life. The opening chapters set the stage for an in-depth examination of how individuals can attain spiritual upliftment beyond their inherent limitations." The opening of "Bible Emblems" begins by reflecting on the human condition and the inherent longing for something greater—"a Rock that is higher than I," which signifies the call for divine support and guidance. Seelye articulates the need for individuals to transcend their self-reliance and seek help from a higher power, emphasizing that true progress in life is achieved through dependence on God's grace rather than on personal will alone. The text gives a sense of the author’s theological perspective, arguing against the notion of self-sufficiency in spiritual matters and positioning faith, humility, and the reliance on Christ as the foundation for spiritual growth and fulfillment.
