Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Congregational Lecture: The Work of the Spirit
The plan on which these Congregational Lectures are drawn up has been gradually formed during a pastoral ministry of thirty years, and amid the engagements which have employed me through a large portion of the latter half of that period as a teacher of theology. Nothing has seemed to me to be more natural than to begin our in quiries on this subject by examining the report of human consciousness, then proceeding to the investigation of the Scriptures and afterwards to the history of human opinions. I should have been glad if the nature of these praelections, and the limits prescribed for them, had allowed of a distinct and critical handling of all the por tions of Scripture which relate to the Holy Spirit. As it is, I have contented myself with classifying those portions of Scripture, and giving the results of an inquiry which has been neither brief nor superficial.
