Excerpt from Job Scott, an Eighteenth Century Friend
Those who read the citations in the follow ing pages, will be struck many times by the way Job Scott is hampered because of the limitations of language. The stock terms of the prevalent and popular theology did not express the full meaning of the writer. They either said too much or too little. It has to be admitted that in our own time we sadly need terms that will adequately express ta tional spiritual truth, without seeming to en dorse positions the thinker no longer holds. Still we trust that Job Scott's position may be made plain as the reader proceeds.
