Synopsis
Excerpt from Answer to the Form of Libel: Now Before the Free Church Presbytery of Aberdeen
Thus, in the first part of the major, I am charged with denying the infallibility and authority of Scripture; in the second part of the major, and under the first head, I am charged with holding a particular View of the institution of the Aaronic priesthood, which is said to infer denial of the in fallibility of Scripture; and m the corresponding head of the minor, I find the citations from my writings which are sup posed to prove that I hold the opinion in question. To fol low this division through all the particulars of so complex a charge would render my defence extremely cumbrous, and bury the main points at issue under the mass of details. I shall, therefore, follow the ordinary precedent of first dis cussing the statement of the offences with which I am charged; and then taking together the allegations of fact in the major and the corresponding quotations in the minor. I shall thus follow the natural procedure known to all law, considering, first, whether I am charged with a real offence under the law of the Church; and, then, whether the facts alleged against me are sufficient to constitute that offence.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides an in-depth exploration of the tension between ecclesiastical authority and critical inquiry as exemplified by a recent case that has provoked a profound examination of biblical interpretation within the Free Church of Scotland. A libel against a professor of divinity alleges the advancement of ideas contradictory to established doctrines, raising questions about the nature and scope of allowable academic enquiry. The author meticulously dissects the charges and subjects them to rigorous scrutiny, demonstrating that the challenged perspectives do not, in fact, violate the core tenets of the church's faith. Through a comprehensive analysis of the relevant ecclesiastical and theological principles, this book illuminates the proper boundaries of intellectual freedom within the constraints of religious tradition. Its insights hold profound significance for the ongoing discourse on the compatibility of faith and reason, shedding light on the dynamic relationship between dogma and scholarly investigation. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781333346096_0
