Excerpt from The Ordinances: An Address to Friends
N othing is more easy than to read Scripture with a particular doctrinal bias - to give full place in our minds to passages which fall in with that bias - to pass oyer other parts of T in Book with less notice, and even to wrest to the support of our own particular views, texts or expressions of which the true meaning on close inspection, is found to be in an Opposite direction.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the history and significance of two Christian ordinances: baptism and the Lord's Supper. Its author, a Quaker, argues against the Society of Friends' traditional rejection of these practices, presenting a nuanced and well-researched case for their continued observance. Through a careful examination of Scripture, the author challenges the idea that baptism and the Lord's Supper are merely relics of the Old Testament and argues instead that they hold vital meaning for Christians today. The author also explores the potential dangers of these ordinances, emphasizing the importance of avoiding ritualism and legalism while still embracing their commemorative and symbolic power. This book offers a fresh perspective on the ongoing debate surrounding these ordinances, inviting readers to reconsider their significance in the modern Christian context.
