Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Works of the Right Reverend John England, Vol. 6: First Bishop of Charleston; The Most Reverend Sebastian G. Messmer Archbishop of Milwaukee With Portraits To the Right Reverend Dr. David, Bishop of Mauricastro, Coadjutor to the Bishop of Bardstown, and so forth. Right Reverend and Dear Sir: - The letter written by you to the editors of the Miscellany, dated 11th of February, 1825, Bardstown, has been given to me by the publishers of that work, after they had taken from it those directions which regarded themselves. The following passage arrested my attention: - "I shall, however, take the liberty to remark, that the definition of faith, in No. 6, page 90, Vol. iii. [Sup. 355.] ´Faith is the sincere disposition to believe all that God has taught,´ does not appear to me theologically accurate. For it seems to me that this disposition can be in one who as yet knows nothing of the revealed truths, and who consequently has no faith. The definition of St. Paul, Heb. xi., implies the knowledge of the things we hope for, and the conviction of the things that are not seen." This passage, sir, was written by me, and I find, upon reading your letter, that it is at least liable to misconception. Perhaps, strictly speaking, it is theologically inaccurate. Nothing can be of greater importance; nothing more clearly your duty and mine, than in the language of doctrine to preserve the strictest accuracy. Allow me then to thank you for your remark, and to subscribe to the truth of your observation. In the essay in which the passage is found, my object was to examine the moral criminality or innocence of a person, who was invincibly ignorant of the truth; and the inaccuracy of my expression arose from my not clearly expressing the distinction between the disposition to believe and the actual belief.
