Synopsis
Excerpt from A Plea for Sincerity in Religious Thought
The Presbyterian General Assembly of the United States (1898) has just taken a notable position, which marks an epoch in religious history. I refer to its action in the case of Prof. Arthur C. McGiffert, of Union Theological Seminary, New York City, in answer to a petition that he be tried for heresy. Professor McGiffert has recently published a book, entitled "The Apostolic Age," in which conclusions respecting the origin and character of the New Testament writings and theories of the person and message of Jesus are stated, which contradict the cardinal teachings of the Westminster Confession. It is not to the point to say that many of the opinions here set forth are generally accepted by leading specialists in Biblical criticism and historical scholarship. They strike at the vital and central principles of Presbyterian theology; and the Presbyterian Church cannot ignore so serious a matter.
What the General Assembly has done is this: It has raised the question of honor, which ought to he sufficient.
