Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Works of John Owen, Vol. 6 The system of truth, of which Dr. Owen is the able advocate, rests upon the triple foundation of Holy Scripture, sound reason, and Christian experience. The sacred writings used to establish it are fully and consistently interpreted; the reason employed is not carnal, but the effort of that sound mind which is the gift of the Holy Spirit; while the experience, to which appeal is made, is remote from fanaticism. In all ages that system has had its opponents, and the conflict of opinion has filled the Church with clamor and confusion. Yet after each contest, however brief or prolonged, the cause of God and truth has emerged with decided advantage, and appeared the stronger for the exercise in grappling with error. Human arrangements and views of that truth have been changed, and adjustments have been made, to suit the progress of the mind. But the truth itself is unchanged, and still commends itself to the spiritual mind and sound understanding with Divine efficiency. "The word of the Lord endureth forever;" and "thy word is tried to the uttermost, therefore thy servant loveth it." In this age controversies relating chiefly to the Church and its appointments are vigorously pursued. Numerous works issued from the press, which are characterized by ability and fairness, and there is no want of interest in those topics manifested by the Christian public. The writings of Dr. Owen contain much which has a direct bearing upon those controversies. His matter is weighty and his arguments are the best which can be collected for his view of Church polity. The striking features in his discussions are the fairness with which he states the position of those with whom he does not agree, and the ample concession made to whatever of value or strength may be proved to belong to the arguments of his opponents. A clear discrimination is made between matters of principle and matters of taste. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
