Excerpt from The Free Church of Scotland: Her Origin, Founders and TestimonyThe Free Church, while standing firm to the main body of Catholic doctrine, has reawakened to the idea, not unfamiliar to Knox and Calvin, that theological formularies require perennial revision, and has not scrupled to let a ray of nineteenth century light fall upon the venerable standards of Westminster. In preparing the first edition of the present volume, which was done with great haste, I had no opportunity to touch upon this phase of Free Church history, which, in the course of half a century, has naturally become important. It was, however, my happy fate to be present, something less than twenty years after the Disruption, on one of those occasions when the spirit of the new and the Spirit of the old first looked upon each other in the General Assembly of the Free Church.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
