Discourses by Alexander John Scott. This volume gathers 19th-century theological lectures and sermons by the English Anglican thinker, including early Discourses on the Divine Will and Revelation, followed by a sequence of lectures applying Christian principles to social and political life. The first section develops a nuanced understanding of God’s will versus decrees, arguing that revelation and prayer rest on discerning the divine will rather than fate. The later parts treat Social Systems in light of Christianity, the Kingdom of Christ, and questions of authority and church government, addressing dangers such as Romanism, Chartism, and schism while urging unity born of a living spiritual principle rather than external institutions. Prefatory notices explain that some papers were printed before and gathered posthumously, with the editor noting the author’s death in January 1866. The work reflects a goal to harmonize faith with social order by fostering spiritual wisdom guiding ecclesiastical and civil life.
