Book excerpt: Excerpt from Makers of the Scottish Church at the Reformation As the life of John Knox has been so Often written, I had some misgivings as to whether he should appear here for separate treatment, but it was impossible to exclude him - the greatest Of them all, and incalculably influencing all the others. I have not, however, in his case given a biography, but, as stated in the text, have selected certain incidents in his career, features in his character, and aspects of truth he emphasised, which are closely related to the work Of reform. I have also laid stress on his modern Spirit. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Discourse on Scottish Church History: From the Reformation to the Present Time, With Prefatory Remarks on the S. Giles's Lectures, and Appendix of Notes and References And then, as we approach the period of the Reformation, we appreciate and admire the contrast, vividly drawn, between the noble and upward course of the pioneers of the recovery of Gospel Light and Truth - especially Patrick Hamilton, Alexander Alesius, and George Wishart, and the perverse downward course of their opponents, the champions of Darkness and Error - the ill-fated Cardinal Beaton, the double-minded Earl of Arran, and the weak and dissolute King James V. (Lect. 4). In these first four Lectures, it is scarcely necessary for me to say there is little or nothing which we Episcopalians should not have listened to with pleasure, or should have hesitated to welcome, had they been heard from any of our own pulpits; and though, when we reach the Reformation itself, it was not to be expected that this harmony of sentiment would continue to be maintained to the same extent, yet we thankfully observe that the points on which we become constrained to differ from the positions of the succeeding Lecturers, are still very few in comparison with those upon which we can cordially and unreservedly agree with them. With this observation, we enter upon the fifth Lecture, which it is necessary to notice in more detail. No one can be more ready than the present writer (as, indeed, I showed in a discourse preached and published more than twenty years ago on occasion of the Tercentenary in 1860) to pay to Knox the honour he deserved for his "supreme loyalty to the Word of God" (p. 151), his unswerving "vindication of the paramount authority of Holy Scripture" (p. 133). But when it is objected to our "landed gentry," that they "stand aloof from the Church of Knox" (p. 148), I must be permitted to reply that it is Presbyterians themselves who, at the present day, stand further aloof from the Church of Knox than Episcopalians do.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Scottish Church, Vol. 2 The author has much reason to be gratified with the criticisms of the press on the first volume of his history. His statement in the preface that he did not profess to be colourless in his opinions, was interpreted by some critics as an admission that he had written in the spirit and with the design of a partisan. He submits that the words were susceptible of a different interpretation. The writer of Church history, who is aware of his own bias in things ecclesiastical, is the more likely to be on his guard against it, and to steer an even course between divergent lines of historical representation. This has been his honest endeavour in the second volume as in the first. But as the modern period, now brought under review, bristles with controversial matter over which historians have disputed from the Reformation downwards, he has no very sanguine expectation that his treatment of it will escape the charge of partisanship from extreme men of any school. To succeed in satisfying such as are themselves partisans would assuredly be the clearest proof of partisanship. The author desires to express his obligations to the Rev. George Sutherland, Portsoy, the Rev. J. C. Barry. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Knox him. Self states that he had refused a Bishopric; and DE m'crie thinks it probable that Newcastle, which was then proposed to be erected by dividing the extensive diocese of Durham into two, was the'see destined for our Reformer: this is now found to be an error, and it is ascertained that the Bishopric of Rochester was that intended for Knox, could he have been prevailed upon to accept it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Scottish Church Question IN offering the following pages to the public, the writer would preface them with only a few words. The interest he takes in the important question, which he is about to examine, is a universal Protestant one. He considers that the relation between Church and State, which has arisen out of the Reformation in the various countries in which the Reformed Church is established, is still far from satisfying the claims which the Church of Christ on earth is bound by the Word of God to assert for her unfettered efficacy in providing for the spiritual welfare of the souls intrusted to her. He considers these claims to be as widely different from those of the Church of Rome as the headship of Christ himself over his Catholic spiritual kingdom is different from that of his supposed Vicar on earth. On this account they have, on the one hand, the higher authority and purer ends, and, on the other, they do not, if rightly understood, encroach upon the due powers and privileges which are given by God to the civil magistrate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Theology and Theologians of Scotland: Chiefly of the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries; Being One of the "Cunningham Lectures" The Trust-deed of the founder requires that each course of Cunningham Lectures shall be published within a year after their delivery. No doubt a law like that could not be meant to be enforced under exceptional circumstances. The illness of a lecturer would doubtless be accepted by the Trustees as a sufficient reason for an extension of time. Unfortunately in the case of Dr. Walker that excuse has existed. In the spring of last year, almost immediately after the delivery of the Lectures, he was laid aside from work of every kind, and has been obliged to spend the winter abroad. The interest produced by the Lectures, however, at the time of their delivery, was so great, that their speedy publication was earnestly pressed by many friends; and this, combined with other things, led to his being asked to consent to their publication in his absence.

Download or read book John Knox and the Reformation Classic Reprint written by Andrew Lang and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from John Knox and the Reformation In this brief Life of Knox I have tried, as much as I may, to get behind Tradition, which has so deeply affected even modern histories of the Scottish Reformation, and even recent Biographies of the Reformer. The tradition is based, to a great extent, on Knox's own "History," which I am therefore obliged to criticise as carefully as I can. In his valuable John Knox, a Biography, Professor Hume Brown says that in the "History" "we have convincing proof alike of the writer's good faith, and of his perception of the conditions of historic truth." My reasons for dissenting from this favourable view will be found in the following pages. If I am right, if Knox, both as a politician and an historian, resembled Charles I. in "sailing as near the wind" as he could, the circumstance (as another of his biographers remarks) "only makes him more human and interesting." Opinion about Knox and the religious Revolution in which he took so great a part, has passed through several variations in the last century. In the Edinburgh Review of 1816 (No. liii. pp. 163-180), is an article with which the present biographer can agree. Several passages from Knox's works are cited, and the reader is expected to be "shocked at their principles." They are certainly shocking, but they are not, as a rule, set before the public by biographers of the Reformer. Mr. Carlyle introduced a style of thinking about Knox which may be called platonically Puritan. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Catechisms of the Scottish Reformation written by Horatius Bonar and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catechisms of the Scottish Reformation: Edited, With Preface and Notes It is not from the mere love of what is old or national, that I have been led to re-edit these rudimental standards of the Church of Scotland. I wish certainly to preserve them; but not as mere fossils for a museum; not as the footprints of an extinct race; not as relics of an exploded theology, or an obsolete religion. I would reprint them because of their genuine and unaltered value, and as embodying truths which are quite as necessary for us as they were for our fathers. The truths of the Reformation are not obsolete. Their human classification and language may go out of date; they themselves remain. They are not old anchorage-ground, which the elevation of the coast during these three centuries has left dry. Nor are these catechisms old anchors from which the cables have been slipped, and which have been left to rust on the beach or sink into the sands; superseded by modern inventions better fitted to abide the storm. The doctrines themselves are not ephemeral, nor have the formulae in which our fathers clothed them been proved to be either inaccurate or inadequate. In so far as they do not fit in with "the spirit of the age," there is room for fair inquiry as to whether the fault may not belong to the age rather than to the dogmata or formulae.

Download or read book The History of the Reformation of Religion Within the Realm of Scotland Classic Reprint written by John Knox and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-12-23 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Reformation of Religion Within the Realm of Scotland To supply the want thus indicated thirty years ago is the object of the present publication. Indeed, we look for a wider circle of readers than Mr. Carlyle contemplated. Even persons not accustomed to reckon themselves, or to be reckoned by their friends, among 'serious mankind at large, will find in this volume an amount of human interest, of dramatic incident, and of homely humour, which the title might not lead them to anticipate. And, if not in their case, certainly in the case of many of those to whom Carlyle directly refers, perusal of this popular abridged version ought to induce study of the full text as it appears in Dr. Laing s incomparable edition. No manuscript of the History in Knoxs handwriting exists; but what is known as the 1566 ms. (now in the possession of the University of Edinburgh) contains some marginal notes and corrections which Dr. Laing thought to be in Knoxs hand. That Ms., with the exception of certain portions added by various hands from other copies, is in the handwriting of John Gray, Clerk or Scribe to the General Assembly of the Church of Scot land, who acted as Knox's principal amanuensis. Dr. Laing generally adhered to the 1566 manuscript, although in some cases he preferred readings derived from what he calls the Glasgow ms., and from other sources.
