Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Modern Christian Heroes: A Gallery of Protesting and Reforming Men, Including Cromwell, Milton, the Puritans, Covenanters, First Seceders, Methodists, &C In the Introductory Chapter the author has given an outline of the general plan he has pursued in the present little book, and intends to pursue in the sequel. The book consists of a series of lectures which were delivered two successive seasons to very large miscellaneous audiences on Sabbath Evenings in his own chapel in Dundee. He mentions this to explain the general style of the composition, which is not didactic or specially researching, but popular. He has gone over the salient points - the summa fastigia rerum - and striven rather to give a broad clear outline than to go into minute details, or to present the results of any new investigation of facts. Yet he trusts that few inaccuracies of much importance will be found. His great aim throughout has been candour and catholicity of judgment. Occasionally, in condemning the acts of the stronger party, he may have erred by allowing his feelings to hurry him into extravagance. This may be in some measure excused on account of the fact that, apart from his own temperament, he is of the Covenanting and Seceding race, and much as he differs from some of their views, he glories in the relationship. He aims at being eclectic, but has yet to learn that indifferentism and eclecticism - are the same thing. While something of the perfervid blood of his country may be found in the spirit of these pages, the views of things will be found to approach those of the Broad Church School more than is yet common in Scotland. None of the men, indeed, assuming that name, does he call master, not even Arnold, the father of them all; and from many of the opinions of their present leaders he considerably differs.
