Book Description
Excerpt from The Presbyterian and Reformed Review, 1890, Vol. 1 Secondly, by the permissive decree, the preterition Of some sinners and thereby their foreordination to everlasting death is shown to be rational as well as Scriptural, because God, while decreeing the destiny Of the non-elect, is not the author Of his sin or Of his perdi tion. Preterition is a branch Of the permissive decree, and stands or falls with it. Whoever would strike the doctrine of preterition from the Standards, to be consistent must strike out the general doctrine that sin is decreed. If God could permissively decree the fall Of Adam and his posterity without being the cause and author of it, He can also permissively decree the eternal death Of an indi vidual sinner without being the cause and author of it. In preteri tion, God repeats, in respect to an individual, the act which He per formed in respect to the race. He permitted the whole human species to fall in Adam in such a manner that they were responsi ble and guilty for the fall, and He permits an individual Of the species to remain a sinner and to be lost by sin, in such a manner that the sinner is responsible and guilty for this. The Westminster Standards, in common with the Calvinistic creeds generally, begin with affirming the universal sovereignty of God over His entire universe; over heaven, earth and hell; and comprehend all beings and all events under His dominion. Nothing comes to pass contrary to His decree. Nothing happens by chance. Even moral evil, which He abhors and forbids, occurs by the de terminate counsel and foreknowledge of God and yet occurs through the agency of the unforced and self-determining will Of man as the efficient.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Presbyterian and Reformed Review, Vol. 1: July, 1890 In stretching the lines of defense of the spiritualistic principle in psychology, we turn at once to the method of knowledge as a pro cess, and we shall find it valuable for more than defense. For if we discover the independence of the thinking subject as regards the method, we may at once pass to its autonomy as regards the matter of the knowing process. That is, if we find a refutation of mate rialism in the psychology of knowing, we have so much the more ground for its refutation in the metaphysic of knowing, and the two considerations will present a consistent philosophy of knowing. What then is the materialist's doctrine of the method of knowledge? There are four cosmological doctrines of knowledge, arising from four types of world-theory, assuming that the parties to the contro versy are only mind and matter. First, monism of thought; second, dualism 01 thought and matter (or force); third, absolute phenome nalism or agnosticism; and fourth, monism of matter (or force). On the first hypothesis, perception is a purely thought relation, and by definition the materialist cannot accept it. On the second, we have a realistic theory of knowledge in which the thought element rests upon the ultimate presupposition of thought and the materialist is again excluded. Upon the hypothesis of absolute phenomenalism the support is cut equally from both subject and object. If both be phenomenal, there can be no question as to which is real, and the materialist and idealist are both defeated. The fourth supposition, monism of matter or force, is then the materialist's only alternative, and the first problem we propound to him is this: Given matter or force, how do you account for thought? Is mind a function of organized matter? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Sir George Adam Smith (1856-1942) was one of the leading Old Testament scholars in the late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century Scottish church. As Free Church minister of QueenÕs Cross, Aberdeen (1882Ð92), Professor of Old Testament Language and Literature at the Free Church College, Glasgow (1892Ð1910), and Principal of Aberdeen University (1910Ð1935) he popularized modern criticism of the Old Testament. He was determined to show how such an approach to the Bible was compatible with evangelical faith, a position that never sat easily with the confessional position of the Scottish church, and the story of SmithÕs life is an investigation into the relationship between biblical scholarship and evangelical faith. In this new biography, Campbell has made extensive use of primary material, including Smith's letters and journals, to fill a gap in the literature on events within the Scottish church in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. This critical biography will be of use both to students of Scottish church history and students of Old Testament criticism, as well as raising issues that are of continuing importance for all who believe in confessional Christianity as well as in scholarly study of the biblical text.
