Synopsis

"The Biblical Repository And Classical Review" is a mid-19th-century North American theological and classical scholarship periodical. This 1846 issue (Third Series) collects essays on Aristotle, Protestant theology, and church polity, presenting a scholarly yet partisan examination of religion, culture, and the classical world. Contents include Sketches in Grecian Philosophy (Aristotle), which surveys Aristotle’s works, manuscript history, and major treatises, along with discussions of rhetoric, poetry, ethics, and politics, and reflections on Aristotle’s educational influence. Other pieces critically examine Protestant principles, Scripture and tradition, and church unity, including a review of Dr. Peck’s position on Scripture alone as the rule of faith and practice. Additional essays address theological questions such as the origin of the first emotion of enmity to God, and polemical treatments of Puritanism, geology in relation to faith, and the divinity and atonement. The issue also features critical notices, foreign literary intelligence, and historical-theological meditations on Magi, Rome, and the afterlife. The tone is intellectual and partisan, aiming to educate clergy and educated lay readers in ongoing debates.
