The books treat, in order, of the following subjects—Evidences of the Christian Religion—General view of the Scripture System—Opinions concerning t... more »he Son, the Spirit, and the manner of their being united with the Father —Opinions concerning the Nature, the Extent and the Appli- cation of the Remedy brought by the Gospel—Index of particular questions, arising out of opinions concerning the gospel Remedy, and of many of the technical terms of Theology— Opinions concerning Church Government. Under these general heads, we have a brief and candid history of the principal theological opinions which have prevailed on the earth, and a very fair presentation'of those views, on different points, which the author could not adopt. Those who differ with him, as we peihaps should on a few points, will have no reason to complain of his unfairness, but must be prepared to meet his arguments with the same candor and kindness which he manifests. His views of original Sin, Atonement, Redemption, etc., are those of the Scotch Church generally. 2.— The Poetical Works of John Sterling. First American Edition.

The " Hymns of a Hermit," and several other interesting pieces, not found in the volume published in England in 1839, are introduced in this first American Edition. ...« less
