My one deep anxiety and prayer has been that every part of the proceedings of these two days should be to the glory of God. It would be deeply to my grief as long as ever I lived if there should be anything said or done which should be contrary to the mind of our Lord. We meet together, with congratulations...

This Discourse was delivered in the Chambers Presbyterian Church, 21st December, 1886, in Compliance with an Invitation from the Philadelphia Presbyterian Ministerial Association, and is now published at their Request.

The Christ Myth by Arthur Drews was published early in 1909,1 and before the year was out its author was being requisitioned by dissidents from Christianity of the most incongruous types as a promising instrument for the general anti-christian propaganda. Few more remarkable spectacles have ever been...

IN the day of final judgment, every man will be called upon to give an account of the “deeds done in the body,” whether they are good or whether they be evil. “It should consequently be the aim of Christians, to ascertain their duty on all questions of importance, that there may no “blood...

There is no question to which the human soul more eagerly desires a clear and sure answer than this one: “If a man die, shall he live again?” It is an old, old question. Job asked it long ago in an agony. The one fact he could see, the one fact which admitted of no challenge or dispute, was the...

How should the words of Jesus be taken? Literally? Figuratively? Somewhere in between? Many Christians have been confused by the strangeness of many of Jesus' commands, by the apparent extremism that they seem to promote. The words of Jesus as we have them recorded for us in the four Gospels have...

The necessity of owning a supernatural destiny in the case of man, lies to a certain extent in his natural constitution itself, in the relation he is seen and felt to bear to the world around him in his present mortal state. This relation in one view is of the most close and intimate kind. The organization...

This little volume has its origin in a series of articles originally published in the columns of the South Western Presbyterian. Under the advice of judicious friends, they are gathered in this more enlarged and permanent form. The reader will perceive that it is the mere outline of what might easily...

Every discussion of what is to be understood by Biblical Theology ought to proceed from a clear understanding of what Theology is in general. Etymology, in many cases a safer guide than a priori constructions, tells us that Theology is knowledge concerning God, and this primitive definition is fully...

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only-begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). THERE are some passages of holy Scripture which seem to contain, in a line or two, an entire volume of most precious truth. The verse which...

This passage of Scripture [Matthew 16:13–20] has been the source of a great deal of contention, and of difference of opinion among theologians for many years. In fact, ever since the third century of the Christian era there has been continual debate as to the exact meaning of a number of expressions...

You were pleased to appoint a Solemn and Extraordinary Fast, for your united Armies: and since that you have twice desired the Assembly of Divines to Importune God for them: How acceptable all this hath been unto Him, you have experimentally found by the news of our Brethren surprizing of Newcastle...

WHY do so many people think this is the greatest text in the Bible?
