Synopsis

First Things: A Series Of Lectures Of The Great Facts And Moral Lessons by Gardiner Spring. The work presents a biblically grounded analysis of foundational human religious history, beginning with the contrasting lives of Cain and Abel to illustrate Deism and Christianity, and the early precepts of divine worship through sacrifice. It emphasizes the necessity of faith, the mediatorial atonement, and the distinction between true piety and mere forms. The treatise then moves through topics such as the first death, the first example of eminent piety (Enoch), the first definition of human sinfulness, and the withdrawal of the Spirit, extending to the first national curse and beyond, into reflections on youth, family, civil government, and social issues like slavery and national unity. Throughout, Spring defends biblical doctrine against rationalist deism, extols sovereign grace, and exhorts readers to repentance, perseverance, and holy living in the arena of spiritual warfare. The volume blends doctrinal exposition with practical exhortation for church members and citizens alike.
