  • George Whitefield— the Anglican Evangelist Lee Gatiss
    George Whitefield— The Anglican Evangelist Lee Gatiss Lee Gatiss is the Director of Church Society, an Anglican Evangelical ministry based in the United Kingdom, and Adjunct Lecturer in Church History at Wales Evangelical School of Theology. He has studied history and theology at Oxford, Cambridge, and Westminster Theological Seminary, and trained for ministry at Oak Hill Theological College in London. Having served churches in Oxford, Kettering, and London, he is also the author of many books and articles on theology, biblical interpretation, and church history, and has a Ph.D. on the Hebrews commentary of John Owen. He is the Editor of the NIV Proclamation Bible (Hodder & Stoughton) and the new two-volume edition of The Sermons of George Whitefield (Crossway). It is wonderful this year to be celebrating the 300th birthday of the great English evangelist, George Whitefield. Whitefield is remembered as a great evangelical. By those who (somewhat mistakenly) consider evangel- ical religion to have begun only in the 1730s, he is hailed as a founding father of evangelicalism.1 His name has been honored and kept alive in recent years by evangelical Baptists and Presbyterians, but he has been strangely undervalued by those in the Church of England itself. Furthermore, his identity as an Anglican has, therefore, been somewhat obscured. Positively Anglican Yet Whitefield himself would have identified his churchmanship as classical- ly, positively, “Anglican.” As Jim Packer puts it, “like all England’s evangelical clergy then and since, Whitefield insisted that the religion he modelled and taught was a straightforward application of Anglican doctrine as defined in the Articles, the Homilies and the Prayer Book.”2 Or as Arnold Dallimore SBJT 18.2 (2014): 71-81.

    The Free Presbyterian Magazine Vol 110 April 2005 No 4 Which Version?1 he shelves of today’s bookshops carry an almost endless variety of Bible Tversions. But how should we assess them? And should we assume that the newer the translation the better? The book under review should give considerable help to those who are asking these and similar questions. In his Preface, Mr Macgregor gives his own experience: “As a young Christian I went to a church that used the Authorised Version (AV). However, on moving with my wife and family to a different area, we went to a church that used the Good News Bible (GNB) and the New International Version (NIV). This enticed me away from the AV for a while. At first these new versions appeared to be easier to read and understand. However, soon I began to notice serious discrepancies (that is, Old Testament references to Christ veiled or missing) in the GNB. This troubled me greatly. I stopped using it, but continued with the NIV, which seemed more reliable. However, as I studied it and compared it with the AV I had first used, I began to feel concerned. The NIV had verses missing, and later I found it had many words missing. Its rendering of some parts gave a completely different meaning. The more I read and compared, the more concerned I became. Also, like the GNB, the NIV was more difficult to commit to memory. I bought a Revised Authorised Version (called in the USA, and now here, the New King James Version (NKJV)).

S. BAYNES, EDINBURGH ___________ 1825 As Published By Grace-eBooks.com 2015 Book I - Works of Augustus Toplady Memoirs MEMOIRS OF THE REV. AUGUSTUS MONTAGUE TOPLADY, A. B. ON perusing the pages of biography, we find therein delineated the achievements of various persons exhibited to the world, according to the caprice and mutability of human opinion. But when we turn our views to the infallible leaves of inspiration, we discover a just discrimination of characters, with that mark of distinction stamped upon them from heaven, that stands in everlasting force, and admits of no exception. According to Scripture testimony, the righteous and the wicked are the only two classes that mankind are divided into; whatever becomes of the ungodly, the sacred records inform us, that it shall be well respecting the present and eternal prosperity of believers. For, "the foundation of the Lord," or his immoveable purpose respecting his people, "standeth sure, having this seal," this authentic and inviolable sanction, "The Lord knoweth," the Lord loves, and will ever continue to take care of, "them that are his." We have many striking illustrations of the wonderful preservations experienced by the worthies of the Old and New Testaments, their whole history presents us with little else but a continued chain of miraculous providences.

    r CHAPTER 4 THE 18TH-CENTURY SCOTTISH SERMON: bk)DES OF RHETORIC B ýý 18f G Z c9. ;CJ . 'f 259. TILE 18TH-CENTURY SCOTT ISi1 SERMON: )JODES OF RHETORIC Now-a-days, a play, a real or fictitious history, or a romance, however incredible and however un- important the subject may be with regard to the beat interests of men, and though only calculated to tickle a volatile fancy, arcImore valued than the best religious treatise .... This statement in the preface to a Scottish Evangelical tract of the 1770s assembles very clearly the reaction in Evangelical circles to contemporary trends in 18th-century Scottish letters, The movement in favour of a less concen- trated form of religion and the attractions of the new vogue for elegant and melodic sermons were regarded by the majority of Evangelicals as perilous innovations. From the 1750s onwards, the most important task facing Moderate sermon- writers was how to blend the newly-admired concepts of fine feeling and aesthetic taste with a modicum of religious teaching. The writers of Evangelical sermons, on the other hand, remained faithful to the need to restate the familiar tenets of doctrinal faith, often to the exclusion of all else. The Evangelicals regarded the way in which Moderate divines courted fine feeling in their pulpits as both regrettable and ominous. In some quarters, it even assumed the character of a possible harbinger of doom for Scottish prosperity. This reaction on the part of the Evangelicals accounts for the frequent 'alarms' published in connexion with religious topics in 18th-century Scotland.

I esti­ mated the extreme length of the ruins at above one mile, and the breadth nearly half a mile. ARTICLE VI. WORKS OF REV. AUGUSTUS TOPLADY. By Rev. George~~~maD' proreuor in Middlebury College. AMONG the writers who wrdertake the defence of any of the Christian doctrines, none has a better claim to be heard than the pastor; and none should be more readily pardoned in case of intemperate zeal. We naturally suppose that he has found the truths he would vindicate effective in his pub­ lic and private ministrations. Augustus Toplady had possession of the nca.nhip of Broad Henbury, in Devonshire, from 1768 till his death in 1778- He was called to preach the gospel, as he thought, in evil times. Those of his works which were written for publica­ tion, were intended to cheek: the progrell8 of Arminianism and to defend the church of England from the charge of ~ ing Arminian in doctrine. It was his love of the chnrch that first called him out, in the year 1769, in a letter to Dr. Nowell. He says: "To vindicate the best of visible churches from the false charge of Arminianism, fastened on her by yon, and to prove that the principles commonly (although perhaps not properly) termed Calvinistic, are plainly and repeatedly delivered in .

  • 6. 'Calvinism' and 'Arminianism'
    6. ‘Calvinism’ and ‘Arminianism’ In this section of our report we turn, as we have been asked to do, to an area of doctrine that, in the past, has been contested within the traditions of our churches, but that also has significant implications for mission and evangelisation today. The issues are far from dead: for example they are sometimes aggressively promoted in university and college Christian Unions. We believe that the challenge of the mission of the Church today is the proper context within which the tension expressed in the historic terms ‘Calvinism’ and ‘Arminianism’ should be considered. The terms ‘Calvinist’ and ‘Calvinism’ usually refer to a specific aspect of the theology of salvation (soteriology) that arose from the teaching of the French Reformer John Calvin (1509-1564) in Geneva. Drawing extensively on the theology of St Augustine of Hippo, and deploying a wide range of biblical material, Calvin applied the doctrine of the sovereignty of God with some logical rigour to the work of grace in the individual.1 His teaching on unconditional election, with its corollary of double predestination (predestination to salvation or damnation) was further developed by later Reformed theologians and was articulated by the Synod of Dort in 1618-19. To reject that particular tenet is not to disown the Reformed tradition as a whole or to disparage Calvin’s massive contribution to the Christian theological tradition, particularly through his Institutes of the Christian Religion and his many commentaries on the books of the Bible. The whole question was been recast by Karl Barth in the mid-twentieth century, who placed the decrees of God and the destiny of the whole human race within Christology: Jesus Christ is both the Elect of God and the one rejected by God.

  • The Spirituality of George Whitefield (1714-1770)”
    The Fellowship for reformation and pastoral studies 29, No. 1 (september 2000) Michael A. G. Haykin “The revived Puritan: The spirituality of George Whitefield (1714-1770)” The revived Puritan: The spirituality of George Whitefield (1714-1770) n 1835 Francis Alexander Cox (1783-1853) and James Hoby (1788-1871), two I prominent English Baptists who were visiting fellow Baptists in the United States, made a side trip to Newburyport, Massachusetts, to view the tomb of George Whitefield. The “grand itinerant” had died on September 30, 1770, at the home of Jonathan Parsons (1705-1776), pastor of the town’s First Presbyterian Church, also known as Old South. He had been interred two days later in a vault below what is now the centre aisle of this church, where, along with the coffins of Parsons and another pastor of the church, Joseph Prince (d.1791), his remains were on display all through the nineteenth century. In fact, it was not until 1932 that the coffin in which Whitefield’s remains lay was covered over with a slate slab.1 Cox and Hoby later recalled descending with some difficulty into the subterraneous vault where Whitefield was buried. As they did so, they remembered that “deep expectant emotions thrilled our bosoms.” They sat on the two other coffins in the vault and watched as the upper half of the lid of Whitefield’s coffin was opened on its hinges “to reveal the skeleton secrets of the narrow prison-house.” They “contemplated and handled the skull,” while they “thought of his devoted life, his blessed death, his high and happy destiny” and “whispered [their] adorations of the grace that formed him both for earth and heaven.”2 What makes this scene even more outré is that the skeletal remains that Cox and Hoby viewed were not intact.

  • Was John Wesley a True Believer?
    1 Was John Wesley a True Believer? We must be careful in identifying anyone as a believer or a non-believer since we cannot know the heart of people. However, we are called to know when a person is a genuine Christian so that we can welcome them into the body of Christ and call them brother. Similarly, we are also commanded by the Lord to identify wolves; that is a false teacher in the church. We do this, according to the Lord, by identifying their fruit. The fruit determines the root. If the fruit is bad then the root is bad and the person cannot be attached to the vine; cannot be a true believer. So, the question boils down to: what is the fruit of John Wesley’s convictions? It is my conviction that the fruit of John Wesley’s teaching is not only heretical, is not only serious, but it cannot emanate from someone who truly knows the Lord Jesus Christ. This is further proved by the testimony of John Wesley’s own character. So, let us examine the evidence. 1 Wesley’s wrong theology Wesley hated the doctrine of sovereign predestination The doctrine of predestination is not a doctrine of God. 2 This doctrine not only tends to destroy Christian holiness, happiness, and good works, but hath also a direct and manifest tendency to overthrow the whole Christian Revelation. 3 It is a doctrine full of blasphemy; of such blasphemy as I should dread to mention. 4 The blasphemy clearly contained in the horrible decree of predestination! And here I fix my foot.
