A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Nothing is more easy than to read Scripture with a particular doctrinal bias to give full place in our minds to passages which fall in with that bias to pass over other parts of The Book with less notice, and even to turest to the support of our own particular views, texts or expressions of which the true meaning on close inspection, is found to be in an opposite direction. .i .T he above profoundly true words were written by an eminent author in the Society of Friends, and he further asserts in reference to the same subject, that such conventional misinterpretations of Scripture impede the free progress of truth within the borders of the Church. He also freely acknowledges that a few examples of this kind have arisen among us; and expresses his conviction that the sooner such errors are rectified,, the better for the growth and prosperity of our little section of the Christian Church. Such a conviction is so fully shared by the writer of the following pages, as to induce her to venture to set forth the grounds for views merely pronounced, yet suffered for, last year; and to entreat that in this examination of Scripture, there maybe a holy impartiality exercised; and that Friends may always gratefully accept the development of truth in all its features. Should any deem the present re-examination unimportant, let the Providential circumstances which seem to indicate this necessity be remembered; and honestly in the sight of God propound to themselves the question whether it can be otherwise than a reasonable Christian duty to weigh impartially an appeal in behalf of true and proper liberty of conscience; made with no desire to underminey but to benefit the Church: and not only so, but under a deep sense of the prompting and leading of Him, whose blessing is devoutly craved for every reader.
