Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Gospel Truth: Accurately Stated and Illustrated, by the Reverend Messrs. James Hog, Thomas Boston, Ebenezer and Ralph Erskine, and Others; Occasioned by the Republication of the Marrow of Modern Divinity The following volume does not owe its origin to a predilection for polemical discussion. It is the persuasion of its Editor, that many of the disputes which have agitated the Christian church, have been so trifling in their subjects, and have been conducted in so improper a spirit, that it would be an advantage both to truth and charity, to bury them in perpetual oblivion, and few things would occasion him more serious regret, than the reflection that he had in any degree been instrumental in extending or perpetuating the malignant influence of such "vain janglings." He has, however, long been of opinion, that the Controversy, with the history of which the following pages are chiefly occupied, involves in it some of the most important principles of Christian truth, and that there has seldom been displayed a more beautiful example of "earnestly contending for the faith" in the meek and humble spirit of the gospel, than in the conduct of the illustrious Boston, and his worthy associates. The first part of the following work is employed in giving a brief history of the Controversy which was agitated in the Scottish Church, in the earlier part of last century, respecting certain points of theological doctrine, especially as stated in a treatise, entitled, The Marrow of Modern Divinity, a work which, though the Editor is not prepared to defend as faultless, he considers as of no common excellence, distinguishing with accuracy the things which differ, and pouring much light on many of the most important peculiarities of the evangelical system.
