Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Initial Life: Or, the Lost Principle Restored From my earliest studies I felt the need of some central principle in man on which to build a solid system of religion. The doctrine of total depravity being true, I could not see how man, without supernatural aid, could be religious or responsible at all. I early embraced moral freedom of will as a universal fact of consciousness, and on this fact I am immovable; but on what this fact was founded I could not satisfactorily see. Besides, I could not account for what is good, amiable, lovely, and noble in unregenerate man without presupposing some active principle essentially different from moral evil. Moreover, mental and ethical philosophers, how widely soever they differed in theory, all seemed to me to fall short of a proper foundation. But that which taxed my thoughts most was to discover some central principle in man explanatory and confirmatory of revelation. Not that I was ever skeptical in the least; for faith with me answered all difficulties which reason could neither explain nor deny. Thus I was beset with difficulties on all sides, which drove me into a region of profound mystery, from which I could not extricate myself till the subject of this work flashed on me like a demonstration, and removed all difficulties worthy the demand or respect of reason. The subject of this work has been the chief study of my life, and is at the foundation, expressed or implied, of all my preaching and writings. Impelled by a boundless hope - though late in life - I launch my bark on the waves and to the winds of a stormy sea, assured that it will bear me, and all on board, safely to the eternal shore.
