Synopsis
“Select Discourses” by John Smith. This 1659–1660 Cambridge edition collects the posthumous writings of John Smith, edited and prefaced by Worthington and Henry Griffin Williams, with front matter memorializing Smith and notes on manuscript editing. The collection seeks to translate Hebrew/Greek quotations and reorganize digressive papers into accessible chapters for readers unfamiliar with the original languages. The Discourses center on the primacy of inward virtue and holiness as the basis for truly knowing divine truth; knowledge arises from a transformed life and moral purity rather than scholastic argument alone. The volume opens with Discourse I outlining a fourfold capacity for apprehending divinity, and Discourse II–IV discuss superstition, atheism, and the Immortality of the Soul and God’s nature. Throughout, Smith is presented as a devout Christian whose aim is to deepen piety, humility, and virtue, warning against outward forms and urging a living faith guided by divine guidance.
