Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Trial of the Rev. David Swing: Before the Presbytery of Chicago Inter alia. Professor Francis L. Patton presented the following communication: Chicago, April 13th, 1874. To The Reverend The Presbytery of Chicago, in session in the Third Presbyterian Church, in the City of Chicago: Dear Brethren: In the month of August, 1873, I published in the Interior an editorial review of Professor Swing´s sermon on "Old Testament Inspirations." It was written in the spirit of kindness, with no thought of controversy, and with no idea that it would lead to a judicial inquiry. To the discussion between Professor Swing and myself I need not refer, except to say that it was the occasion of a careful examination of his theological views as they appear in his writings. I have adverted to some of these views, as you are aware, in the columns of the Interior. Indeed, fidelity to the Church of which I am a minister required me to do so. It would have given me great pleasure, as I know it would have been a great satisfaction to many others of his ministerial brethren, had this discussion resulted in a vindication of Professor Swing from any imputation of heresy, and in showing that he is a sincere believer in the doctrinal system of that Church in which he has been so honored and loved. And since this is not the case it would have been more in accord with my feelings if some older member of the Presbytery could have assumed the responsibility of bringing the erroneous views of Professor Swing to your notice. Circumstances, however, have combined to impose this painful task on me. Permit me, therefore, to call your attention to the accompanying charges, with their specifications, which I ask leave to prosecute at your bar.
