Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures in Divinity, Vol. 1 The Author of the following Lectures was appointed Professor of Divinity in 1778, and completed the plan which he had formed for himself, in about four years. In every succeeding year, he revised with unwearied care that part of his course which he intended to read to his students; and not a few of the Lectures appear to have been recently transcribed. He took no steps himself for publishing them as a whole; but he is known to have had this in contemplation; and at his death he consigned them to the Editor, in such terms as implied that the publication of them would not be in opposition to his wishes. It will be agreeable, the Editor believes, to the wishes of that large proportion of the ministers of the church of Scotland, who went from the hall of St. Mary's College with unfeigned respect for the character and talents of the Author, to peruse those prelections which commanded the attention of their earlier years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures in Divinity, Vol. 2 Several parts of the history cannot be understood in a literal sense. Thus, it is not to be supposed that the tree of which man was forbidden to eat, had the power which the name seems to imply, and which the serpent suggests, of mak ing those who ate the fruit of it wise, knowing good and evil, neither rs it to be supposed that the serpent at that time pos sessed these powers of speech and reason which the narration seems to ascribe to him, or that the plain meaning of these words, the seed of the woman shall bruise the head of the serpent, expresses the whole punishment of the tempter. Several writers, indeed, who are disposed to turn the Scriptures into ridicule, have stated what they call the absurdity or the frivolousness of the literal sense, as a reason for rejecting both the narration and the books in which it is contained. But it has been well answered, that the narration bears upon the face of it the marks Of that symbolical style which prevailed amongst all nations in early times from the poverty of language, and which, even after it has ceased to be necessary, continues to be used, both because it is ancient and because it is expressive. In this sym bolical style, the Objects of sense are employed to represent the conceptions of the mind actions or things material to represent things spiritual and under words which are true when inter preted literally, there is couched some more exalted meaning. To the learned it cannot appear surprising, that the book which claims to be the most ancient Should adopt a style which occurs in other early productions; that a transaction which assumes a date next to that of the creation, and the memory of which had probably been preserved amongst the first men by symbols, should be recorded by the historian of a future age in a Ian guage which referred to these symbols and that circumstances might pieieiit him from attempting to remove the veil which this symbolical language threw ov er the transaction.

Yet I thought he did not quite prove what he undertook. Whitgift feeme'd to me, even from Strype's account, to be guided much by prudence, and to dillike Whitaker's zeal.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Body of Divinity, Vol. 1 of 4: Wherein the Doctrines of the Christian Religion Are Explained and Defended, Being the Substance of Several Lectures on the Assembly's Larger Catechism Whether my method of explaining these doctrines be reckon ed just, or no, I cannot but persuade myself, that if what I have said, concerning the subordination of these divine persons, be considered in any other view, than as an explication of the Son ship of Christ, and the procession of thel Holy Ghost, it will not be reckoned a deviating from the common faith of those who have defended the doctrine of the ever-blessed Trinity; and, if it be an error to maintain that these divine persons, as well as the Father, are independent, as to their personality, as well as their essence, or to assert that the manner of their hav ing the divine essence, as some express it, is independent, as well as the essence itself, then what I have delivered, on that subject, is to no purpose, which, when I am convinced of, I shall readily acknowledge my mistake, and count it an happi ness to be undeceived.

Download or read book A Body of Divinity Vol 1 of 2 written by Thomas Ridgeley and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-08-26 with total page 680 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Body of Divinity, Vol. 1 of 2: Wherein the Doctrines of the Christian Religion Are Explained and Defended; Being the Substance of Several Lectures on the Assembly's Larger Catechism Dr. Ridgeley's Body of Divinity, if viewed, not in any one point of light, but in all its aspects, will, probably, be pronounced the best book of its class. In criticism, in erudition, in polemical tact, in rhetorical beauty, or in some other solitary excellence, it has, no doubt, been surpassed; but, in the aggre gate properties of a luminous and well-adjusted summary of didactic and con troversial theology, it has lived through upwards of a century without meeting its equal. No book in the English language, or, so far as I know, in any other, will serve so efficiently the purposes of a daily companion to a re ecting Christian in his inquiries into Divine truth, or a guide to a candidate for the Christian ministry in introducing him to his theological studies. Its parts are in their due proportion, and its properties in their due degree. Subjects great and small are not set up in niches of equal space, but extended or compressed according to their relative magnitude in the system of Divine truth; nor are they treated agreeably to the scope they a 'ord for displaying the writer's ao quirements and powers, and gratifying a popular taste for eloquence or a popu lar admiration of scholarship, but discussed with entire reference to their own intrinsic claims upon both the writer's care and the reader's attention. Dr. Ridgeley has, on almost every topic which he touches, the happy but rare art of knowing when he has said enough; and never, even when drawn, in justice to his subject, into extended dissertation, does he appear to forget that his work demands due space for the whole circle of revealed truths. He is not tempted, by love of declamation or of oratorical ourish, to write a sermon in stead of a disquisition; nor by keenness of controversial spirit, to write long and arduously when an opponent is in the field, and not to write at all when no opponent, or but an insignificant one, appears; nor by attachment to a party, or fondness for denominational peculiarities, to write munif'icently in favour of his sect, and write like a niggard when the interests of his sect are out of view; nor by aptitude for abstract thinking, or critical analysis, or display of erudition, to array some topics in the glitter and gorgeousness of metaphy sics and bibliographical scholarship, and either to append to minor or plain topics some trappings of learnedness, or to pass them undiscussed. His Body of Divinity is eminently distinguished by sound sense. We look in vain throughout its pages for any indications of the pedant, the bibliographe, the theorist, or the declaimer, and see only the labours of a sober, judicious divine.
