Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Examination Into the Doctrine and Practice of Confession I have thought it best not to load my pages with numerous references to patristic books (not on the shelves of ordinary libraries) in support of facts, the authorities for which can be found almost exhaustively, certainly abundantly and sufficiently, in the pages of such works as Bingham and Usher, and the note in the translation of Tertullian in the Library of the Fathers. I have, therefore, referred my readers to these books, where they will find not only references to the original works, but generally full length quota tions of the passages referred to.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Doctrine of Confession in the Church of England No question affecting the Church of England can be fairly considered, except by connecting together its earlier and its later history, as presenting different phases of one living body, holding in substance the same truth. It was not the purpose of the English Reformation to ignore the traditions of the past, the changes which then took place being avowedly grounded on an appeal to an earlier standard. Its object, as the oft-repeated declarations of its leaders abundantly testify, was to correct abuses, and remove novelties of doctrine or practice, which had grown up during the middle ages at variance with primitive revelation. It is but one instance of this fundamental principle, that our existing formularies are framed upon the ancient service books of the Catholic Church. They profess to be, and are, at least in their essential features, a reconstruction of its traditionary system; and only on this ground they claim our allegiance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Confession and Absolution: An Investigation of the Teaching of the Bible and Prayer Book Mr. Gerry had made a collection of nearly all the books, large and small, on this subject, which had been published of late years in the Anglican Communion, and we went over them together. Some were excellent from the historical and theo logical standpoint, but too exclusively dogmatic. Others, again, took a line so apologetic (in the common sense of the term) as to render them quite useless for the purpose we had in view, namely, to provide a Manual which could be placed in the hands of lay people desirous of informing them selves in regard to the doctrine and practice of Confession in our Church.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Commentary on the Confession of Faith: With Questions for Theological Students and Bible Classes Dr. Mitchell proves that the Confession was conformed in the order of its chapters and the type Of its doctrine more to the Articles of the Irish Church than to any other model. These were drawn up by Archbishop Ussher in 1615, when he was pro fessor of divinity in Trinity College, Dublin. The correspond ence of the Larger Catechism is also very striking with the Body of Christian Doctrine, a compilation attributed to Ussher when a youth, and circulated in the Westminster Assembly.

Download or read book The Doctrine of Scripture written by Brad East and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-08-27 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Holy Scripture is read aloud in the liturgy, the church confesses with joy and thanksgiving that it has heard the word of the Lord. What does it mean to make that confession? And why does it occasion praise? The doctrine of Scripture is a theological investigation into those and related questions, and this book is an exploration of that doctrine. It argues backward from the church's liturgical practice, presupposing the truth of the Christian confession: namely, that the canon does in fact mediate the living word of the risen Christ to and for his people. What must be true of the sacred texts of Old and New Testament alike for such confession, and the practices of worship in which they are embedded, to be warranted? By way of an answer, the book examines six aspects of the doctrine of Scripture: its source, nature, attributes, ends, interpretation, and authority. The result is a catholic and ecumenical presentation of the historic understanding of the Bible common to the people of God across the centuries, an understanding rooted in the church's sacred tradition, in service to the gospel, and redounding to the glory of the triune God.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Theory and Practice of the Confessional: A Guide in the Administration, of the Sacrament of Penance "There is nothing more excellent or more useful for the Church of God and the welfare of souls than the office of Confessor. By his sacred ministry the sinner is lightened of the burden of sin, freed from the yoke of Satan and concupiscence, and clothed again with the robe of innocence previously lost. Weak knees are confirmed (Is. xxxv. 3); that is, men weak and idle in mind receive new vigor, and lastly the just are aroused and enkindled to persevere in goodness and to reach with freshly spurred zeal for the crown of justice laid up for them (2 Tim. iv. 8). "How great and arduous is the office of Confessor appears clearly from the fact that by it he is made a judge in the place of Christ and that of his judgment he must some day render a strict account to the Supreme Judge. To him, therefore, apply the words with which the pious king of Israel charged the judges appointed by him, 'Take heed what you do: for you exercise not the judgment of man, but of the Lord God; and whatever you judge, it shall redound to you' (2 Paral. xix. 6). In this tribunal, however, the priest may not consider himself to be only a Judge to hear the culprit's confession, to correct him, and then, having imposed sentence, to send him away. He must also act the part of the Shepherd and, following the example of the Good Shepherd, must know his sheep, bring back to the fold those that strayed away and fell among thorns, and finally lead them unto wholesome pastures and the waters of eternal refreshment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Confessional: Or an Exposition of the Doctrine of Auricular Confession, as Taught in the Standards of the Romish Church Dens' System of Theology is notori ously a standard work in use in Roman Catholic Seminaries; and, if any proof were wanting, no farther evidence could be desired than may be furnished by a perusal of the title page of the edition which lies before me. It is possible; how ever, that this may be denied; for Mr. Hughes, it is said, lately challenged any Protestant minister or layman to pro duce a single case in which the Papists had put Protestants to death, and in open court offered to lay a wager of $1000 to that And the same individualstood up before the New York Common Council, and a multitude of Popish and Protestant clergy, and actually denied the authority of the Rhemish Testament, though it has been published and kept up, edition after edition, for two hundred and fifty-nine years, and has never been disapproved or inserted on the Index Pro bibitory by any Pope, or censor of the Pope. And still more lately, the bull of the Philadelphia bishop pronounced over the late priest, Mr. Hogan, has been de nied, though there are those living who well remember when that gentleman was cursed with bell, book and candle With these recent occurrences before me, I shall not be surprised, if Peter Dens should fall into sudden disrepute with some of his most ardent admirers; and if only this result is gained, i shall be amplyrewarded for the pains I have taken to expose a few of the atrocious doctrines which abound in his system of iniquity. When attempts are made to arrest the discussion of the tendencies of Roman ism by threats and acts of violence, it is no time for Protestant ministers to be si lent, or to shrink from bearing bold and' faithful testimony against the monstrous impieties of that system of delusion, which has done more to ruin souls than any other craft which Satan has ever devised. That God may open the eyes of many of our Roman Catholic brethren, both priests and laymen, is my heart's desire and prayer. God is my witness that the worst I wish them is, that they may come to the know ledge ot' the truth and be saved. J. F. B.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Confession of Faith: Hand Books for Bible Classes and Private Students In the previous section we noticed how latitudinarians in doctrine, disliking the exactness Of confessional utterances, make an illegiti mate appeal from the Confession to Scripture, thinking to find ap parent support for their views in a partial presentation of scriptural expressions. To maintain the view, however, just indicated in re gard to the interpretation of a subscribed creed is, when rightly understood, not only not latitudinarian, but genuinely conservative. It is the conservation of the essential principles embalmed in the Confession. This implies the genuine spiritual appreciation of those principles, the hearty adoption of those doctrines as our own deepest spiritual convictions. Dr. Cunningham has clearly expressed this position of true liberalism, which distinguishes the fundamental from the occasional, that which belongs to the explanation or presentation of a doctrine from the doctrine itself. Towards the close of his essay on Calvin and Beza In which he had been showing at length the theological developments of the latter divine, Dr. Cunningham maintains that, while he considers those additional determinations of Beza to be strictly in accordance with Scripture truth, and fair logical deductions from the principles laid down by Calvin, it would nevertheless be inexpedient that those precise and definite expressions should find a place in symbolical books, or be made a term of com munion. The individual Christian is required to make diligent search in order to acquire all truth attainable in regard to details as well as to general principles; but the Church must only formulate those statements of truth to which the many individuals belonging to her community may yield assent, and in regard to which unity of belief may be expected and claimed. One who goes with Calvin might refuse to go with Beza. No formulary should occasion divisions of such a kind. 'calvin probably would have made a difficulty about adopting precise and definite deliverances on some points, concerning the truth of which the great Calvinistic divines of the seventeenth century had no hesitation. But it will probably be admitted that he was qualified for the office of a minister in a Calvinistic church, even in this advanced nineteenth century.'
