  • Introduction
    MJT 10 (1999) 239-257 THE MARROW CONTROVERSY: A DEFENSE OF GRACE AND THE FREE OFFER OF THE GOSPEL by Joseph H. Hall Introduction THE PRISTINE ORTHODOXY of the Scottish Reformation had begun to wane by 1700. This was due in part to the residual influence of the Englishman Richard Baxter’s theology. Baxter (1615-1691), an Amyraldian, conceived of Christ’s death as a work of universal redemption, penal and vicarious but not strictly speaking substitutionary. For Baxter, God offers grace to sinners by introducing the “new law” of repentance and faith. Consequently when penitent sinners “obey” this new law, they obtain a personal saving righteousness. Effectual calling induces such obedience and preserving grace sustains it. This doctrine, known as “Neonomianism,” reflected Amyraldian teaching, with Arminian “new law” teaching as an addendum. The legalistic dimensions of Baxter’s Amyraldianism, along with the increasing influence of Laudian hierarchism,1 brought on 1William Laud, Archbishop of Canterbury under Charles I of England, imposed on England, and sought to impose on Scotland, high church Anglicanism during the 1630s. The Scots fiercely and successfully resisted English uniformitarianism under Charles I only to have it re-imposed upon them after the restoration of Charles II. 240 • MID-AMERICA JOURNAL OF THEOLOGY by the Act of Union of 1707,2 made England dominant in both Church and State in Scotland. Added to this was the reintroduction of the abuses of patronage into the Scottish Kirk.3 These factors all contributed to the waning of vigorous, well- balanced Calvinism wherein the warmth of Scotland’s earlier Calvinism, with all its biblical and ecclesiastical integrity, gave way increasingly to doctrinal and spiritual indifference or “moderatism.” Hence those called moderates were those who opposed Reformation doctrine.

  • A Soldier Fights for Three Separate but Sometimes Associated Reasons: for Duty, for Payment and for Cause
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Stirling Online Research Repository The press and military conflict in early modern Scotland by Alastair J. Mann A soldier fights for three separate but sometimes associated reasons: for duty, for payment and for cause. Nathianiel Hawthorne once said of valour, however, that ‘he is only brave who has affections to fight for’. Those soldiers who are prepared most readily to risk their lives are those driven by political and religious passions. From the advent of printing to the present day the printed word has provided governments and generals with a means to galvanise support and to delineate both the emotional and rational reasons for participation in conflict. Like steel and gunpowder, the press was generally available to all military propagandists in early modern Europe, and so a press war was characteristic of outbreaks of civil war and inter-national war, and thus it was for those conflicts involving the Scottish soldier. Did Scotland’s early modern soldiers carry print into battle? Paul Huhnerfeld, the biographer of the German philosopher and Nazi Martin Heidegger, provides the curious revelation that German soldiers who died at the Russian front in the Second World War were to be found with copies of Heidegger’s popular philosophical works, with all their nihilism and anti-Semitism, in their knapsacks.1 The evidence for such proximity between print and combat is inconclusive for early modern Scotland, at least in any large scale. Officers and military chaplains certainly obtained religious pamphlets during the covenanting period from 1638 to 1651.

  • Theology of Assurance Within the Marrow Controversy
    THEOLOGY OF ASSURANCE WITHIN THE MARROW CONTROVERSY by Gerald L. Chrisco M.A.R., Reformed Theological Seminary, 2009 A THESIS Submitted to the faculty in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Religion at Reformed Theological Seminary Charlotte, North Carolina January 2009 ii Copyright © 2008 by Gerald L. Chrisco All rights reserved ABSTRACT Theology of Assurance Within the Marrow Controversy Gerald L. Chrisco While the source of struggle may differ from one Christian believer’s experience to another’s, many speak of the presence of doubt and its effect. Pastorally, assurance is a key doctrine for the edification of the body of Christ. Theologically, the topic has been hotly debated across many eras of church history. The 18th Century Marrow Controversy is one such debate that provides an interesting and structured platform from which the doctrine can be examined. This thesis begins the examination with the following proposition: Although their soteriology in general was condemned by the 1722 General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, the Marrow Brethren’s dichotomy of the “assurance of sense” and the “assurance of faith” substantially reconciled their assertion that “assurance is the essence of saving faith” to relevant sections of the Westminster Confession and the teachings of John Calvin. Utilizing as much primary source material as possible, evidence is presented to show how the words of the Marrow Brethren are compatible with those of Calvin and the major Reformation confessions, particularly Westminster. While their emphases may differ, each of these three viewpoints includes a common dichotomy: the ever present absolute assurance of the truth of the promises of God which is inherent in saving faith and the subjective experiential assurance of a believer which can be shaken by doubt.

  • THE MARROW CONTROVERSY #01: HISTORICAL DETAILS the Marrow Controversy by Dr
    THE MARROW CONTROVERSY #01: HISTORICAL DETAILS The Marrow Controversy By Dr. Sinclair B. Ferguson Preached on: Monday, February 2, 2004 Greenville Seminary & Mt. Olive 200 E. Main St Taylors, SC 29687 Website: www.gpts.edu Online Sermons: www.sermonaudio.com/gpts Corrections and annotations by William H. Gross www.onthewing.org January 2014 The subject that has been allotted to me for these three conference addresses is, as you would have noticed from the program, “Pastoral Lessons From the Marrow Controversy.” You may well wonder what the Marrow Controversy is or was. Let me say to you that it is not some strange sect that appeared in Scotland arguing at some time about the price of butcher meat, nor, for that matter, about the true interpretation of 1 Corinthians chapter eight. It is, indeed, as we shall see in these days together, one of the least known and yet one of the most pastorally significant of all the theological controversies that have taken place within the area of reformed theology. Many of you, I know, will have read that famous book The Marrow of Modern Divinity and many of you, perhaps, will know a good deal about the Marrow Controversy. But it may be that there are some of us here today who for one reason or another are not acquainted with the historicity of that controversy. And so what I have planned to do for part of our opening address in this theme is to take you a little into the historical details of the controversy, if you will bear with me.

  • SCOTLAND and the BRITISH ARMY C.1700-C.1750
    SCOTLAND AND THE BRITISH ARMY c.1700-c.1750 By VICTORIA HENSHAW A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham September 2011 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT The historiography of Scotland and the British army in the eighteenth century largely concerns the suppression of the Jacobite risings – especially that of 1745-6 – and the growing assimilation of Highland soldiers into its ranks during and after the Seven Years War. However, this excludes the other roles and purposes of the British army, the contribution of Lowlanders to the British army and the military involvement of Scots of all origin in the British army prior to the dramatic increase in Scottish recruitment in the 1750s. This thesis redresses this imbalance towards Jacobite suppression by examining the place of Scotland and the role of Highland and Lowland Scots in the British army during the first half of the eighteenth century, at a time of change fuelled by the Union of 1707 and the Jacobite rebellions of the period.
