Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Commentary on the Confession of Faith: With Questions for Theological Students and Bible Classes This Commentary on the "Confession of Faith" consists of an analysis of its chapters and sections, with proofs and illustrations of its doctrines. It aims to bring out the natural and historically-established sense of the text. Its design is to stimulate and facilitate the study of this excellent body of Christian truth among theological students, Bible-class scholars, ruling elders and ministers. It was first published in 1869, and, having been circulated in Great Britain and Ireland as well as in America, the Board of Publication has been encouraged to issue a new edition. Two appendices have been added to this edition. The first contains the statement of the representative theologians, Dr. Charles Hodge and Dr. Henry B. Smith, as to the sense in which the historical Presbyterian Church understands intrants into her ministry to accept the "Confession of Faith as containing the system of doctrine taught in the Holy Scriptures;" in which understanding the two branches of the Presbyterian Church are thus shown to have been perfectly agreed. The second appendix contains the only two official explanations of the sense in which the Westminster Confession is understood by their respective denominations made by representative bodies - i. e. the "Auburn Declaration" in 1837 and the "Declarative Act" of the United Presbyterian Synod of Scotland in 1879. In the mean time very much light has been thrown upon the Westminster Assembly and its proceedings by the labors of the Rev. Dr. A. F. Mitchell, professor of ecclesiastical history in St. Mary´s College, St. Andrews. In 1867 and 1874 he published with a learned introduction, the Minutes of the Westminster Assembly and his Baird lecture for 1882, The Westminster Assembly, its History and Standards.
