Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Presbyterians: A Popular Narrative of Their Origin, Progress, Doctrines, and Achievements This book is for church members, officer, and busy pastors, rather than for theologial professor, or private antiquarians. The object sought is to furnish, or private intelligent people with a comparatively brief outline of the work, achievements, and undertakings of the denomination. Such a book is sought for by parents, Sabbath school teachers, Bible classes, and bright, brainy young Presbyterians in their Endeavor Societies, Reading Circles, and Mutual Information Associations. It is not supposed that this book, in its brevity, will satisfy all of these inquiring minds, but a great end will be gained if the appetite is sharpened for increased familiarity with the work of their own branch of Evangelical Christendom. Undoubtedly there will be much criticism on account of the omissions; but a page of printed matter will only hold the full of it. It would have been easier to have written a book of fifteen hundred pages than one of five hundred. There will be differences of opinion as to which are the more deserving of insertion, some things left out, or some things put in. But the list given under the head of works consulted is not an expensive one, and the dissatisfied are advised to prosecute their studies by the perusal of these authorities. The plan of separate chapters on Missions and Education, in addition to the history, compelled some repetition. The Church has always been educating and missionating, and the repetition is in the work and not merely in the way of telling it. The author intended to be fair to all parties.
