Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sermons and Essays by the Tennents and Their Contemporaries Gilbert Tennent was the eldest son of the Rev. William Tennent, Sen., the founder of the Log College. From an original document, a small memorandum book, kept by his father, we learn that he was born in the County of Armagh, Ireland, on the 5th of Oct, 1703. He was therefore thirteen or fourteen years old when his father immigrated to this country. He received his education under his father´s roof, before the founding of the Log College, and when this school was opened, he assisted his father in teaching. His first religious impressions of any permanency, were experienced soon after his arrival in this country. And during the several years in which he was under serious concern, besides his other studies, he pursued a course of theological reading. But having doubts as to his spiritual condition, he was fearful of entering the holy ministry; and commenced the study of medicine, which he prosecuted for the space of a year. But about this time, it pleased God to reveal himself to him with so much clearness and comfort, that all his doubts, and sorrows, and fears were dispelled; and the Sun of Righteousness arose upon him with healing under his wings. And no sooner was he satisfied of his saving interest in Christ, than he felt himself called to seek the ministry, which be had before been deterred from thinking of. After due preparation and study, he was licensed to preach the gospel, by the Presbytery of Philadelphia, in May, 1726. After his licensure, he preached for several Sabbaths in New Castle on the Delaware. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
