Excerpt: ...but they even ventured to interfere with the freedom of the pulpit, and the sermon of Mr. Erskine was selected for the experiment. Mr. Erskine, as moderator of the previous Synod, preached in Perth, at the opening of the Synod of Stirling andPerth, 10th Oct. 1732. His text was Psalm cxviii. 22: --"The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner." The sermon was a noble protest against prevalent defection and error--a bold and magnanimous appeal for the rights of the Christian people, and the purity and freedom of the Christian pulpits. The majority of the Synod condemned him, and proudly doomed him to a formal censure. The preacher would not submit, but openly vindicated his sentiments. The case was carried to the Assembly, and Erskine stood forth, surrounded by his three friends, Wilson of Perth, Moncrieff of Abernethy, and Fisher of Kinclaven. The principal culprit alone was heard, and his fellow-pro testers were bluntly refused. His dignified self-vindication only euraged the Court, which now "refused to be ashamed," and he was again sentenced to be rebuked, "in order to terminate the process." The termination of the process was very different from the Assembly's anticipations. The rebuke, however, was administered. St. Giles mimicked the Vatican. The Reformer protested, but the protest was refused, and indignantly thrown upon the table. It was found there inadvertently among the papers, was read by him who accidentally found it, and the Assembly was immediately made aware of the awful discovery. At eleven o'clock that night the four brethren received a peremptory citation to appear at the bar to-morrow. They were summarily dealt with, and handed over to the mercies of the...

Download or read book Cyclopedia of Eminent Christians written by John Frost and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-25 with total page 694 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cyclopedia of Eminent Christians: Of Various Denominations In making the collection, I have had recourse to a great variety of authorities. In some few instances the lives are drawn from the works of persons of the same religious denomination as the subject, as in the case of Elizabeth Fry. But in most cases I have relied upon writers who could hardly be biased in their views of character by sectarian feelings. Many of the lives are condensed from voluminous biographies; others are taken with little change from such collections as that of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, and The Georgian Era. I have sought for the lives of Christians of various denominations; but I am aware that there have been many very eminent Christians whose lives will not be found in this volume. Its limits forbid the idea of completeness. These specimens, however, will serve to inculcate the great moral and religious lessons which I had in view; and I trust that my sincere desire to render a service to society by assembling together many brilliant examples of Christian virtue, will plead my excuse for any shortcomings which may be found in the execution of my design.

Book Synopsis Encyclopaedia of Religion and Religions by : E. Royston Pike
Download or read book Encyclopaedia of Religion and Religions written by E. Royston Pike and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-12-30 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1951 Encyclopaedia of Religion and Religions is the book where in one volume may be found information- clearly written, unbiased, and accurate- on the Founders and great personalities, the theological tenets and philosophical ideas, the rites, ceremonies and practices, the scriptures and creeds, the Churches, and organizations, of all the religions that have played a vital part in the life of the human race. Whenever possible, the articles, which range in length from a paragraph to comprehensive studies of several thousand words, have been submitted for approval by recognized authorities, and this is particularly so in the cases of the Christian Churches and Denominations. But the work is essentially a whole, written by one who has devoted many years to the subject and is a trained encyclopaedist, with an encyclopaedist’s dispassionate yet sympathetic and understanding approach to facts that are of immense and perennial importance and interest. This is an essential historical resource for scholars and researchers of religion.

Book Synopsis Encyclopedia of Living Divines and Christian Workers of All Denominations by : Philip Schaff
Download or read book Encyclopedia of Living Divines and Christian Workers of All Denominations written by Philip Schaff and published by . This book was released on 2014-01-02 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The PREFACE: THIS book contains biographical sketches of contemporary divines, celebrated preachers, Christian workers, theological professors, church dignitaries, and editors of prominent religious periodicals. It is intended as a supplement to the "Religious Encyclopedia" published in 1884, in three volumes. The German Encyclopedia of Herzog excludes living authors. The value of such a book depends on the extent of its authentic information. In this respect we have been highly favored. When the senior editor resolved, somewhat reluctantly, to undertake the delicate task, he issued a circular letter to distinguished divines of Europe and America, requesting them to furnish for publication exact facts and dates concerning their birth, their education, titles, offices, publications, and other noteworthy incidents. To his great encouragement he received prompt and full replies from nearly all, and takes great pleasure in expressing to them publicly his sincere thanks for their kindness. The information thus obtained is presented without note or comment. Where the gentlemen chose to indicate their theological standpoint in a distinctive way, it is given in their own words; if not, it is left to be inferred from their reputation and works. To secure still greater exactness, proof was sent for revision to each living person named; and their corrections and additions have been inserted as far as possible. Additional information and corrections received too late for insertion in the proper place have been printed in the appendix. When no response was received to the circular, the dates and facts desired were derived from the best attainable sources, chiefly the following: Holtzmann and Zöpffel's Lexikon für Theologie und Kirchenwesen, for German Protestants; Schäpler's Handlexicon der Katholischen Theologie, for German Roman-Catholics; the thirteenth volume of Lichtenberger's Encyclopédie des sciences religieuses, for French authors; Crockford's Clerical Directory, and the latest (eleventh) edition of the Men of the Times, for English authors and church dignitaries; denominational cyclopaedias, — Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian, etc., — manuals, year-books, and catalogues of colleges and theological seminaries, for Americans. The articles thus compiled are marked by a star. Besides living celebrities, the volume includes notices of divines who have died since the completion of the Religious Encyclopedia (1884), and a few - others who were inadvertently omitted. Simultaneously with this Supplement will be published a new and revised edition of the Religious Encyclopedia, which will embody the corrections made by the authors of the several articles, as well as the editors. Copies were sent to foreign contributors with the request to correct the translation of their articles, and to bring them down to the latest date, which was done. As to the distribution of labor, the senior editor has procured the material, and written biographical sketches of departed friends (as Drs. Ezra Abbot, Dorner, Lange, Prime, Thiersch), besides aiding in the final revision; while the junior editor has prepared the material for the press, and devoted himself to the work for nearly two years. The editors have aimed at the greatest possible accuracy and completeness, as well as strict impartiality, in the desire to make a useful and reliable book of reference for readers of all denominations and theological schools.
