Print on Demand. This detailed treatise presents a thoughtful exploration of the relationship between preaching and sacraments and their role in the salvation of souls, from a Christian perspective. The author thoroughly examines this relationship as presented in the Bible, taking great care not to elevate one above the other, and concluding that each is equally essential to man’s communion with God. The author maintains that a spiritually purifying process is fundamental to our salvation, emphasizing that this purification is not external but a rectifying transformation of the soul. This process is brought about by a powerful change of heart, or new birth, which in turn is fostered by the Holy Spirit, as outlined in the writings of Peter. The author delves into the role of the Spirit as the divine agent that makes this change possible, and the Word of God as the instrument the Spirit wields in this rebirth. There is also a discussion on how the living, ordained ministry was designated as the visible hand through which the Spirit applies this tool to the mind, arguing that the preaching of the gospel is the primary means by which the Spirit wields this powerful Word. The author traverses a wide range of Scriptural references to support this claim, thoroughly examining the cases of baptism, confirmation, and Eucharist to demonstrate that the gospel, through preaching, leads to a confession of faith, and thus to these observances. This book offers a profound understanding of the interplay between preaching and sacraments, emphasizing their critical importance in the salvation of mankind, making it an invaluable resource for anyone seeking a deeper comprehension of these concepts. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…

HE Author has endeavored to give to the following Treatise as little of a controversial character as he could, consistentlv with the object which he had in view. Truth stands Opposite to error and to make their contrast seen and felt, it is sometimes desirable to present both. To this, the Author has been almost resistlessly led by the force of circumstances; and it will be readily perceived that the considerations, which induced him to present what he conscientiously believed to be erroneous views on the subject. Which he has treated, bound him, at the same time, to present them. Not in his own, but in the language of their advocates. He has, however, endeavored to quote fairly, and has honestly sought to put the Theories, which he 0p poses, in a light which their advocates must acknowledge to be just: and, having done this, he has busied himself with those Theories, and not with the men who hold them. Against their views he has spoken strongly: against the men he has said nothing. He readily concedes to them. What he is desirous may be conceded to himself, - honesty and sincerity in the views embraced, and solicitude to pro mote the best interests of the Gospel and Church of Christ. He can feel no pleasure in supporting even what he believesto be vital truth by so poor a prop as an attempt to excite prejudice against those, who embrace even what he believes to be dangerous error. Nor has he any desire that the views, which he has presented, should stand any further than they can stand on the basis of Truth as revealed in the Word of God, recognized in the Standards of our Church, and illustrated by its own inward light.
He has quoted the authors, to whom he refers, only so far as was necessary to develop their peculiar views on the points under examination. He has not attempted to follow them through any extended train of reasoning, illustration, or reference to authorities. There is, therefore, a sense in which the present work is not controversial. It does not profess to be a special answer to any other work, or a full critique upon any other treatise. It is. Rather, an inde pendent exposition of the nature of the Christian Sacra ments; referring for authority mainlv to the Scriptures, and showing, subordinately, the harmony between the Scriptures and our own Ecclesiastical Standards.
