Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Plain Tracts for Critical Times: On the Important Subjects of Baptism and Regeneration, &C. With an Especial Reference to the Oxford Tracts, &C. &C We shall not attempt on the present occasion, to make a general appeal to the Fathers, on the subject of baptismal regeneration. But we cannot suffer Dr. Pusey and his allies, to shield their notions of this doctrine, under the sweeping assurance that for fifteen centuries, the whole Church of Christ, held only one sense of John iii. 5. and that sense his own. We have in a previous Number thrown out a few hints, by which the reader may perceive the difficulty or danger, of generally expecting to adopt the Professor´s canon of interpretation, and have by an exposition of those important words "water and the Spirit," which we conceive more consonant with Scripture, shewn that with respect to such canon of interpretation, it is quite erroneous. We at the same time alluded to the way in which the early Fathers, might easily be led to speak in the way they have done, without warranting us to conclude from their very general language, all, or even half which moderns palm upon them. The chief point we particularly aim at on the present occasion is the following, i. e. to shew the impracticability of the attempt, to make the instruction given us by the Fathers, a general canon of interpretation. If the Professor´s interpretation is to guide mankind in their best and surest interests, it must at any rate, - - Speak the plain and obvious meaning of Scripture generally, and not the sense of one verse extracted from its context. - It must be a sense both explicit and intelligible, as well as universal. - It must come down to us in a line of evidence, uniform as well as uninterrupted. - If must justify its pretensions, both for consistency and right of authority to the Church of England before it can claim any regard from her members.
