The Moral Government of God was the great thought of Dr. Taylor sintellect, and the favorite theme of his instructions in theology. It occupied his mind more than any and every other subject. lie was ever ready to enter upon the investigation of any truth that was nearly or remotely connected with this. He was never weary of grappling with such inquiries, whether they were suggested for the first time by his own ingenuity, or had been discussed with greater or less success for centuries by speculative and earnest men. To vindicate the ways of God to man, was the object to which all his energies were consecrated, and upon which were expended the ardor of his glowing soul and the force of his strong and steadfast will. Those secondary objects which the majority of men, even students and theologians, esteem important, were freely sacrificed to the accomplishment of this commanding purpose. To this the whole living man was consecrated with an activity and intensity which have not often been equaled. This object directed all his studies. All his investigations had their starting point from this central theme, and however far he may seem to some to have wandered in the maze of scholastic distinctions or subtle refinements, he never lost the clue by which he returned to the subject of his great argument. Hence his interest in psychology. He studied man as an intellectual and moral being, that he might understand God sgovernment over him.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a compelling analysis of moral government, its significance, and its essential characteristics. In tackling the profound question of what constitutes a perfect moral government, the author provides a thorough examination of the nature of moral action and the role of authority in governing moral beings. The author argues that a perfect moral government is one that is founded on the authority of a moral governor who exercises their power through the medium of law. This law, in turn, must require benevolence as the highest form of action and forbid selfishness as its opposite. The author delves into the fundamental principles of morality, exploring the importance of benevolence and the destructive nature of selfishness. This book offers a comprehensive understanding of moral government, making it an invaluable resource for those seeking to comprehend the complexities of moral action and the principles that guide it.
