Synopsis

The Christian Instructor: Containing A Brief But Comprehensive View Of The Evidences, Doctrines, Duties, External Economy, And Prospects Of The Christian Religion In The Form Of Question And Answer by G. Croft is a 19th-century catechetical work designed to educate lay readers and ministers about the Christian faith in a question-and-answer format. The volume surveys the evidences for Christianity—its genuineness, authenticity, inspiration, and preservation of Scriptures—and then proceeds to outline the doctrines of the Christian religion, including the existence and nature of God, the Trinity, the primitive and present state of man, justification by faith, regeneration, and the doctrine of effectual grace and perseverance. It also treats the duties owed to God, to fellow-men, and to oneself, and explains the external economy of Christianity through the church, baptism, the Lord’s Supper, and the Sabbath, followed by reflections on the prospects of the Christian religion, such as death, resurrection, judgment, and heaven or hell. The text emphasizes practical piety, family worship, and church discipline, and engages with historical debates on church government and Protestant dissent.
