Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Doctrine of Atonement: By the Son of God My Dear Mr. Scott, I asked leave to connect this Essay with your name, partly that I might thus have the opportunity of expressing my sense of the value of the services you have long been rendering to thinkers and speakers, and my gratitude to you for the benefit and kindness I have individually received from you; partly because I feel so profound a respect for the position you have long held in the Church of our common Lord. You left that section of it in which you had been reared, and the ministry to which you were consecrated, remaining to this day in comparative isolation and ministerial inaction, because there were principles which you valued more highly than church-fellowship or clerical usefulness, while no one, I believe, desires both more ardently than yourself. For the coldness, the pride, or the unbrotherly spirit, which, whether in a sect or an individual, rejoices in separation, and delights in opposition, we can feel little respect and less sympathy. But, I think, it is by waiting and working in perfect freedom, as you are doing, for the growth of that higher unity of the spirit, in which alone forms and "ministrations" can really harmonise with the kingdom of Christ, that we shall obtain the true ground for Church organisation and permanent Christian union. I believe you have felt that you could find this freedom at present only by standing outside of all sects, and aloof from all ecclesiastical organisations, at the cost of how great sorrow to yourself few, perhaps can estimate. Whether you have judged correctly as to the necessity for this course, it is not for me to presume to determine. But to the principle to which you have thus been faithful, I desire to express my unqualified allegiance; and for the faithfulness itself which you have manifested, I may be permitted to offer this humble tribute of admiration and respect.
