Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the central conflict within the Presbyterian Church in the late 1800s over a movement to revise its doctrinal standards. The revisions were primarily driven by a body of scholars who embraced a new type of biblical scholarship that was predicated on the assumption that the natural order of development was continuous. The author argues that this new scholarship, despite its claims to the contrary, would necessarily result in the displacement of traditional theological beliefs about supernatural intervention in human affairs. Through a detailed analysis of Old Testament Messianic prophecy, the book demonstrates how the leading proponent of this new scholarship, Professor Charles Briggs, effectively naturalized away supernatural events, leaving American Christianity at a crossroads. The book's insights are significant for understanding the ongoing tension between religious faith and scientific inquiry, as well as its potential implications for the future of Christianity itself.
