Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays, Vol. 2: Critical and Historical In his recent work on the Apostolic Succession and the English Orders, Mr. Perceval has done us a service, which was very much needed, and had never been attempted. Many living writers have treated of the Apostolical Succession as well as he; but no one but he has had the opportunity, and been at the pains, of exhibiting to the general reader the evidence of the fact of the Succession in the English Church. We are referring to the elaborate Appendix to his Volume, in which he has brought together a great number of documents and tables illustrative of some of the more important points in the history of the spiritual descent of our existing bishops and clergy from the Apostles. He begins by enumerating the chief objections which the Roman Catholics have urged against our Succession, as passing through Archbishop Parker and his colleagues, and he lays before us some chief portions of the evidence in its favour, presenting us with the records of Parker's consecration as contained in the registers at Lambeth and in the library of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, and with the offices for consecration and ordination, according to the Antenicene, Eastern, Ancient Western, Coptic, and Queen Elizabeth's Ritual.

This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Practical Comment on the Confession of Faith of the Church of the United Brethren in Christ The United Brethren in Christ have always been Arminian in their faith, as contradistinguished from Calvinistic. The Confession of Faith had been arranged, rather than compiled, by Otterbein and those who followed him, a century ago. In form and style it resembled the Apostles' Creed; and this creed was no doubt drawn on largely for the matter composing the creed of this Church. However, the Church did not confine itself very closely to this written creed. At an early day the General Conference inserted in the Book of Discipline, not an article of faith, but a command, based on the Word of God and on the known faith of the Church, requiring the people to keep the Sabbath day holy, and explaining how this should be done. So, in the early years of the Church, the General Conference inserted, in the form of questions to be asked candidates for the ministry, both as licentiates and as elders, all the doctrines peculiar to Protestant evangelical churches; such as, depravity, regeneration, adoption, justification, sanctification, the inspiration of the Holy Scriptures, the divine call to the ministry, future eternal rewards and punishments, etc. These were asked of every candidate. If he avowed his disapproval of any of these doctrines, he was rejected by the Conference as not being a suitable man to preach in this Church. If received, he was given a course of study, extending over a period of three years. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Miscellaneous Theological Works of Henry Hammond D D Archdeacon of Chichester and Canon of Christ Church Vol 2 written by Henry Hammond and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-30 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Miscellaneous Theological Works of Henry Hammond, D.D., Archdeacon of Chichester, and Canon of Christ Church, Vol. 2: Containing, of the Reasonableness of Christian Religion, of Fundamentals, of Schism, and a Paraenesis This volume has no place Of publication or bookseller's name mentioned on its title-page, but it appears from the preface that it was printed abroad, and an apology is Offered for the many misprints, occasioned by the printer being a perfect stranger to the language. The delay in its publication (for it did not appear till near the end of the year 1657) is attributed partly to this cause, partly to a miscarriage which the author says it is too well known to have had a twelve month ago. The author accounts for his not having noticed in his previous volume, Hammond's Reply to the Catholic Gentleman, by saying that Schism Disarmed was out Of his hands long before the Reply came abroad. The first 473 pages are occupied with the controversy with Hammond, and the rest of the volume is devoted to Bramhall, and is entitled, The Appendix vindicated against the Pretended Reply of Dr. Bramhall, Lord Of Derry. In the same year, 1657, Hammond wrote his Reply to some passages of the, Reviewer in his late book of Schism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures in Divinity, Vol. 2 With this impression of the importance Of the subject, I proceed to analyse the Opinions concerning the Person of Christ. I do not propose to follow the order Of time, because there is some difficulty in ascertaining the dates of particular opinions, because the order in which they arose is not always very material, and because the frequent revival'of 'old opinions in new systems would render a chronology of them full of repetitions. Neither do I propose to fatigue your attention with the useless uninteresting detail of all the extravagant conceits broached by particular men, or of the minute shades of difference among those who agreed in their general system. I Shall furnish you with the information that is'of - real importance, by bringing forward the three great systems upon this subject. Their features are strong ly marked and clearly discriminated, and they ap pear to comprehend all the variety Of which the subject admits, because the several opinions which have at some times been exploded and at other times revived, are always reducible to one or other Of these three systems.

Download or read book The Bible in American Life written by Philip Goff and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-01 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a paradox in American Christianity. According to Gallup, nearly eight in ten Americans regard the Bible as either the literal word of God or inspired by God. At the same time, surveys have revealed gaps in these same Americans' biblical literacy. These discrepancies reveal the complex relationship between American Christians and Holy Writ, a subject that is widely acknowledged but rarely investigated. The Bible in American Life is a sustained, collaborative reflection on the ways Americans use the Bible in their personal lives. It also considers how other influences, including religious communities and the Internet, shape individuals' comprehension of scripture. Employing both quantitative methods (the General Social Survey and the National Congregations Study) and qualitative research (historical studies for context), The Bible in American Life provides an unprecedented perspective on the Bible's role outside of worship, in the lived religion of a broad cross-section of Americans both now and in the past. The Bible has been central to Christian practice, and has functioned as a cultural touchstone From the broadest scale imaginable, national survey data about all Americans, down to the smallest details, such as the portrayal of Noah and his ark in children's Bibles, this book offers insight and illumination from scholars across the intellectual spectrum. It will be useful and informative for scholars seeking to understand changes in American Christianity as well as clergy seeking more effective ways to preach and teach about scripture in a changing environment.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Two Discourses: I, on Prayer II, on the Sacrament When I first proposed writing upon the important Subject of Prayer, it was objected that there was nothing new to be said upon it. Whether I have made any Improvement, I Must leave to the Determination of my Readers; but, if I have added no new Materials to the old Stock, my Book, notwithstanding, may be more compleat than any yet extant on the Subject. - Where so many Persons of Ability have written upon any Subject, they have excelled one another upon different Parts of it; and, therefore, if any one has Judgment enough to select their peculiar Excellencies, and connect them handsomely together, their united Beauties must excel any one of those Books out of which they are collected. Another Advantage new Books have over old ones from the Curiosity of Mankind. The World is more inquisitive into the Merit of modern Performances, and more inclined to look into them, than to enquire after these which have been long, like a dead Man, out of Mind. Books are like Fashions; when they become old, (unless they be superlatively Excellent, and the Authors super-eminent Reputation) they are laid aside. The Materials may be the same, but the Dress must be altered, or they will be thought awkward. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
