Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Review of the "Doctrines of the Church" "Vindicated From the Misrepresentations Of" "Dr. John Rice" And the Integrity of Revealed Religion Defended Against the 'No Comment Principle' of Promiscuous Bible Societies, by the Right Rev'd John S. Ravenscroft, D. D. Bishop of the Diocese of North-Carolina
It is easy to see, that in a society such as this, there is but little room for the exercise of government, in the common acceptatio'n of the term. Where the whole power is moral power, he, who most clearly and most affectionately, exhibits the truth, and lives the most exemplary life, exerts the greatest in?uence. So it was in the beginning. The first teachers of Christianity did not subdue the world by blustering and vapouring about apostolical dignity, and diocesan authority but they won their way to the hearts of men by love.
