Excerpt from Discourses and Reviews Upon Questions: In Controversial Theology and Practical ReligionOne word further the Author may be permitted to say of the manner in which this volume is made up. It consists partly of discourses not before published, and partly of reprints of former publications. Of the latter kind are chie¿y two series of papers, entitled Cursory Observations on the Questions at issue be tween Orthodox and Liberal Christians and The Analogy of Religion with other subjects.In short, the Author's purpose, in this volume, has been, ln the first place, to offer a very brief summary of the Unitarian Belief, in the next place, to lay down the essential principles of all religious faith, thirdly, to state and defend our construction, as it is generally held among us, of the Christian doctrines, fourthly, to illustrate, by analogy, our views of practical reli gion, and finally, to present, somewhat at large, the general views entertained among us, of the Scriptures, of the grounds of belief in them, of the nature of their Inspiration, of the New Testament doctrine of Justi fication by Faith, and of the just Principles of Rea soning in religious inquiry. Under the last head, several Reviews from the Christian Examiner are introduced into the present edition, and two Discourses not before printed. In the last of them, bearing the title That Errors in Theology have sprung from False Principles of Reasoning, the Author has at tempted to show, as far as was compatible with the nature and limits of a popular Discourse, that the pre vailing Theology is at war with the true inductive philosophy.With this brief statement, the volume is submitted to the Reader.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
