Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an account of the 1893 General Assembly trial of Dr. Briggs, a Presbyterian minister accused of teaching heretical views that contradicted the church's fundamental beliefs. The author, a commissioner at the Assembly, provides a detailed report of the proceedings, focusing on the specific charges against Dr. Briggs and the Assembly's response. The author emphasizes the significance of the trial in shaping the Presbyterian Church's stance on biblical inerrancy and the authority of the church's doctrinal standards. The Assembly's decision to find Dr. Briggs guilty and suspend him from ministry highlights the church's commitment to maintaining its traditional understanding of Scripture and its obligation to uphold the ordination vows of its ministers. Through the author's firsthand account, readers gain insights into the complex theological debates of the time and the broader implications of the trial for the relationship between individual conscience, ecclesiastical authority, and the interpretation of scripture. The book serves as a valuable historical record of this pivotal event in Presbyterian history and a reminder of the ongoing tensions between tradition and innovation within religious institutions.
