  • The Spirituality of Andrew Murray Jr. (1828-1917). a Theological-Critical Assessment
    THE SPIRITUALITY OF ANDREW MURRAY JR. (1828-1917). A THEOLOGICAL-CRITICAL ASSESSMENT HEE-YOUNG LEE THESIS PRESENTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (THEOLOGY) PROMOTER: PROF. DR. R.M. BRITZ DEPARTMENT OF ECCLESIOLOGY FACULTY OF THEOLOGY UNIVERSITY OF THE FREE STATE NOVEMBER 2006 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Hallelujah! Now this study is complete. A lot of time and effort was put into the work before it could be finished. Prayer, kindness, intellectual supervision and all kinds of support from my family, teachers, pastors, and colleagues are an integral part of this thesis. Without any one of them, this thesis could not have been produced. To begin with I want to give many thanks to God who led me to do this work and to finish it on time. Although there were various difficulties during the study, I was able to overcome those difficulties and to proceed with my studies by the grace of God. I confess that this work is nothing but a result of His lavish grace upon an unworthy sinner. I am deeply grateful to my supervisor, Professor Dr. Rudolph M. Britz who has sincerely and patiently promoted me up to now. His kind, intellectual and detailed supervision, which can be summarised as many hours of patient guidance, editorial scrutiny, and caring encouragement from beginning to end, went beyond what was simply required and provided the best form of guidance in my efforts. His precious advice; “Do not study ideologically. Let primary sources tell and let them guide your study!” was to be a valuable motto, especially considering my goal of being a church- historian.
