Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Justice and Mercy: Sermons on Penalty and Forgiveness
With the rise of the rationalistic temper throughout Europe in the eighteenth century, says Principal Tulloch, the belief in the perva ding in?uence Of diabolic agency began to dis appear. The sense of the supernatural decayed in all directions, especially the old belief in the arbitrary control exercised by an evil power over human destiny. And while the religious impulse has gained greatly since then, and shown renewed vigor, both in an evangelical and catholic direc tion, it can not be said that the earlier faith in the operations of a personal devil has acquired ref ascendancy.
