Excerpt from A Compend of Christian Divinity

Law for the government of his children: the Penalties of the law, their Nature and Design; the Judgment of God, and the Judgment committed to Jesus Christ; Forgiveness of Sins, viewed in relation to the Scrip ture doctrine of Retribution; the Person of Jesus Christ, - his Mission, and the great and glorious pur pose of his mission; the Evidences of Christianity 1n the Gospel History; the Resurrection; the Sovereignty of' God and Moral Accountability of Man; Faith, Repentance, and the New Birth; and the practical Influence of the Christian Doctrines on the heart and life - all these subjects, in which are involved all the principles of faith and practice in revealed religion, are here consecutively presented, and variously argued, each being exhibited in its own distinctive features, and in its harmony with all the rest.

I have been several years contemplating this work, and preparing different portions of it, as, from time to time, my other engagements have afforded me leisure. And now, having brought it to a completion, while I am conscious of the imperfections of its execution, I send it forth in the agreeable hope, that it will be the humble means of aiding many inquiring minds on their way to truth, to God, and to heaven.

Excerpt from A Compend of Christian Divinity

In the preparation of this work for the public, we are governed by a desire for the promotion of Christian knowledge and virtue. Though all knowledge is important in its place, and there are discoveries of sublime moral and scientific truths, from a study of the nature and fitness of things, yet nothing has such power to enlarge, elevate, purify and bless the human mind, as the knowledge and love of revealed religion.

This work is a desideratum in the Universalist public. We have many able Theological productions; but they are devoted respectively to some particular point or points of the general system of Christian doctrines, no one book comprising a complete compend or body of divinity. We often meet with inquirers after truth, who ask our reference to a book, from which they can obtain a knowledge of our views of Christianity as a whole, embracing all its essential principles. To such a book we have not been able to refer them. The different writers have accomplished their respective designs; but no one, of whom we know, has grasped so extensive a plan.

This is the plan undertaken by the writer of the following pages.
