A focused look at how Protestant assurances of faith are understood, defended, and debated in a historic church assembly.
In these speeches, a 1866 General Assembly defends the doctrine of assurance as grounded in the Holy Spirit’s witness, not merely in personal feeling or reason. The discussion contrasts traditional standards with revivalist practices, weighing the role of the Spirit, faith, and the church’s authority in the believer’s experience. It also recounts reflections on the Revival of 1859, noting both its blessings and its missteps, and argues for a careful balance between lay preaching and ordained ministry.
Readers will follow arguments about what saves faith, how assurance is attained, and why the Westminster standards are cited as a reference point. The material offers a window into how religious leaders interpreted scripture, theology, and revival culture in mid-19th-century Scotland and beyond.
Ideal for readers of church history, theology, and the study of revival movements in the 19th century.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into an 1865 conflict between two Irish Presbyterian ministers, Isaac Nelson and William Dobbin. The debate centered around the "Revival," a significant religious movement in 1859. Dobbin challenged Robert Crawford, a young minister who defended the Revival's teachings, particularly the idea of "assurance," the belief that one can know with certainty their salvation. The author presents the arguments and theological positions of both sides, exploring the complexities of assurance and the role of the Holy Spirit in a believer's life. The book offers insights into the history and doctrines of the Presbyterian Church, shedding light on the ongoing discussions surrounding faith and religious experience.
