[98] Philosophical classifications in this direction (see for instance Godet's "Old Testament Studies," pp. 2-40), owing to their neglect of the facts of Biogenesis can never satisfy the biologist--any more than the above will wholly satisfy the philosopher. Both are needed. Rothe, in his "Aphorisms," strikingly notes one point: "Es ist beachtenswerth, wie in der Schoepfung immer aus der Aufloesung der naechst neideren Stufe die naechst hoehere hervorgeht, so dass jene immer das Substrat zur Erzeugung dieser Kraft der schoepferischen Einwirkung bildet. (Wie es denn nicht anders sein kann bei einer Entwicklung der Kreatur aus sich selbst.) Aus den zersetzten Elementen erheben sich das Mineral, aus dem verwitterten Material die Pflanze, aus der verwesten Pflanze das Thier. So erhebt sich auch aus dem in die Elemente zuruecksinkenden Materiellen Menschen der Geist, das geistige Geschoepf."--"Stille Stunden," p. 64.

Transcriber's Endnote:

Two significant typographical errors have been corrected in the Greek text on Page 263. The sentence originally read:

"And Paul afterward carries out the classification consistently, making his entire system depend on it, and throughout arranging men, on the one hand as {pyenmatikos}--spiritual, on the other as {phychikos}--carnal, in terms of Christ's distinction."

The amended text replaces {pyenmatikos} with {pneumatikos}, whilst {phychikos} now reads as {psychikos}.
