In “The Living Temple”, Holmes utilizes antiquated words, such as when he states, “See how yon beam of seeming white” (l. 33). In this verse, as well as in others, Holmes interjects outdated words to create a tone of formality as he addresses God within the work. Throughout the poem, he includes other archaic words such as “thine” and “o’er” to keep the formal tone consistent.

“And With His Wounds We Are Healed” “The gospel is so simple that small children can understand it, and it is so profound that studies by the wisest theologians will never exhaust its riches (Charles Hodge).” This is a truth that I love about my God, he can be a father to little children, and at the same time be a safe refuge for those can call on him.

neo-orthodoxy are deconstructionism, narrative theology and Radical orthodoxy; views that are the results relativism, misunderstanding inspiration, and distrust in the Bible.
