Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Select Writings of the Rev. Ebenezer Erskine, Vol. 1: Doctrinal Sermons The writings of Ebenezer Erskine have been of singular use in the Church of Christ. They have not only served the more ordinary, though all-important purposes of conviction and conversion to sinners, and of edification and comfort to those that believe, but have been especially useful for the higher ends of exhibiting, vindicating, and diffusing evangelical views of religious truth. At the period when he commenced his ministry, a cloud appeared to be coming over the firmament of the Church in Scotland, darkening the lustre of the gospel, and particularly, obscuring what should be always the central object of preaching, ´Christ Jesus and him crucified.´ Works rather than faith, and the law more than the gospel, formed the principal theme of the discourses then commonly delivered. But ´when the enemy came in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord lifted up a standard against him.´ In the ministry first, and afterwards in the writings of Mr. Erskine, along with those of his distinguished coadjutors, ´a banner was displayed because of the truth.´ The doctrines of grace - that is the doctrines regarding the entire corruption of human nature, the unconditional character of the covenant of grace, the universal free offer of the gospel, the appropriating nature of faith, the freedom of believers from the law as a covenant, and the true nature and necessity of good works - these as they were in his estimation the vital doctrines of Christianity, and those chiefly at the time opposed, formed the great subject of his discourses. The manner indeed in which these are stated, illustrated and applied, so simply, so experimentally, and so practically, is just that which constitutes the great charm of his writings. It is not deemed necessary to enter here into any critical examination of these writings. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
