Synopsis

The Evangelical Repositoryis a dense nineteenth?century evangelical publication that interweaves doctrinal exposition, biographical sketch, literary criticism, and devotional exhortation. It moves between theology, the life of Bunyan, catalogued book reviews, doctrinal and exegetical questions, and sermon?length treatments of Hebrews, Calvary, and Christology, concluding with a polemical defense of orthodox Christianity against liberal skepticism and a vigorous critique of Renan’s Life of Jesus. The collection emphasizes eternal life as a gift through Christ, grace as the sole channel of life, and the need for a supernatural mediation in the Fall and in the gospel. It also includes expositions of Hebrews 2–3, sermons on the cross, and discussions of the divine kingship, universal divine love, and the relation of science and faith. Intended for lay readers, pastors, and students, the pieces aim to edify faith, defend evangelical doctrine, and stimulate piety.
