Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Dr. Briggs Biblical Theology Traced to Its Organific Principle The appointment of a professor in a theological institution is a transaction the importance of which it would be difficult to overestimate. As it is in such institutions that those who are to unfold to men the unsearchable riches of Christ are usually trained, it is manifest that all such appointments must affect for good or evil the vital interests of the kingdom of God. It is this conviction which has stirred to her profoundest depths the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America, on the appointment of Dr. Charles Augustus Briggs to the newly erected Chair of Biblical Theology in Union Theological Seminary, New York. Impressed with a sense of the importance of the branch of theological study with which the occupant of the chair has to deal, and cognizant of the views of the person selected by the Board of Directors to fill it, the church has taken the alarm, and in her late Assembly has declined, by an overwhelming majority, to approve of the appointment. As the directors, after taking legal advice, have resolved to adhere to their action in filling the chair, it is likely the case will be transferred to the civil courts. The wide-spread interest taken in the case on both sides of the Atlantic, the character of the principles avowed by the newly-appointed professor in his Inaugural, and the re-publication of the Inaugural, together with defences of its teaching by two professors of the Lane Theological Seminary, Cincinnati, with a commendatory introduction by Professor Bruce, of the Free Church College. Glasgow, may serve as a sufficient apology for an examination of the doctrines thus openly proclaimed. As my chief subject is the Inaugural I shall not enter at large upon a criticism of the papers furnished by the Lane professors, whom Dr. Bruce pronounces as men of light and learning.
