Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Robertson's Living Thoughts: A Thesaurus The undiminished interest of the public in the chaste and eloquent writings of Frederick W. Robertson, and his abiding and ever-increasing influence upon the theological thought of the present day, furnish the writer's plea for sending out this volume upon its humble mission. It has been prepared during the author's hours of leisure, when, laying aside for a season the more arduous duties of his profession, he has gone out in search of illustrations with which to freshen and make more attractive his pulpit efforts. In the wise and suggestive ideas of this profound and original thinker there cannot fail to be discovered, by any earnest student, "a living source of impulse, a practical direction to thought, a key to many of the problems of theology, and, above all, a path to spiritual freedom." Indeed, Robertson holds a unique position in the theological world. Whilst one may not agree with him in all the positions he assumes, nor sanction all the teachings he seeks to propagate, there is, nevertheless, in his works so much of true, gen. nine, evangelical sentiment, and that, too, from so warm, noble and sympathetic a heart, that all unprejudiced readers of his works feel attracted toward him, and all acknowledge, without reserve, the beneficent influence of his pulpit ministrations. His writings, so fascinating as literary productions, and so fragrant with the aroma of a gentle, Christ-like spirit, have, by their irresistible magnetism, won their way to many homes, and are to-day prized by thousands as the richest, choicest treasures of their libraries. In view of this popularity which Robertson's works have achieved, and the growing interest taken in them by scholars of every school of religious belief, it has seemed to the writer both proper and desirable that there should be a companion volume to his Sermons and Life and Lectures, in the form of a thesaurus of the best thoughts of this great man.
