Synopsis

Excerpt from Baptist Principles Reset

We have presented these points, not as exhaustive of the evangelical system, but as comprehending its main articles. These constitute the funda mental, vital, soul-saving facts and teachings of the gospel. In their support and diffusion, Baptists are happy to unite with Christians of every name and party. 'we rejoice that they are received by most Protestant sects, and that, wherever they are heartily embraced, they bring forth the fruits of righteousness. We are ready to concede too, that these points are far more numerous and important than those concerning which we differ from them.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Dr. J. B. Jeter died February 18, 1880. In the autumn of 1876, in execution of a purpose formed long before, he began in the Religious Herald, of which he was then senior editor, a series of articles on Distinctive Baptist Principles. He was at this date, had been for many years, and continued till his death the first among his brethren. His mind was not only rich in the accumulated stores of information, well digested, but it was characterized by a manly vigor and a most uncommon candor, which commanded the respect and admiration of all who knew him. Dr. Jeter was a model controversial writer. Scrupulously fair in his statement of an opponents views, he never descended from the high plane of courteous debate to indulge in personalities. He was incapable of subterfuge or indirection. He took no short cuts in discussion. The articles from his pen which we print in this volume illustrate these characteristics. No word of bitterness will be found in them. They are not marred by any attempt at smartness. They are never extravagant, never hysterical. They are marked by a sober and conscious strength, which makes them very convincing. It is only just to Dr. Jeter to say that these papers were prepared for the general reader.
