THE lamented Author of this treatise lived to prepare it for the press. It seems to have been originally written in its present form, though it was repeatedly delivered to his class as a course of lectures. There can also be little doubt that it was intended to be a sequel or companion volume to his recently published work on the Pastoral Epistles. As such it may safely be accepted by the public for the sound judgment, lofty aim, and evangelical spirit that characterize the work on the Epistles will not be found wanting in the present performance. Though probably not free from the defects almost inseparable from posthumous publications, the following pages will, it is hoped, amply sustain the high character of Principal Fairbairn as a theological professor. They relate to a subject which in these days is of growing importance, and which has by no means been exhausted, though several good practical works connected with it have of late made their appearance. Principal Fairbairn left instructions that no extended memoir of him should be published by any of his friends. Accordingly, nothing of the kind has been attempted \ but as VI PREFACE. he also indicated that he had no objection to a brief record of the leading events of his life being given to the public, it has been thought advisable by his trustees that such a summary should be prefixed to this work. A succinct Bio- graphical Sketch has therefore been prepared by one who knew him long and well, who was among the first to become acquainted with his high merits as an author, and who always regarded with admiration his noble Christian character.

'•-j:^.* BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH. Patrick Fairbairn was born at Hallyburton, in the parish of Greenlaw, Berwickshire, on the 28th January 1805. He was the second son of a family of five children. The eldest of the family, a brother, predeceased him ; the three younger members, two brothers and a sister, still survive. His father, a respectable farmer, was able to give all his children a good education, and to educate two of them for the Christian ministry, namely, the subject of this sketch, and John, the third of the family, now minister of the Free Church at Greenlaw. Patrick, considered from his eariiest years a highly pro- mising boy, was sent to various schools in the district with a view to his being prepared for the University. None of profited to such these schools were of a superior kind ; yet he an extent by the tuition they furnished, that he proceeded to the University of Edinburgh in November 18 18, before he had completed his fourteenth year. Like many Scottish youths of that period, he commenced his college studies much too early, and had in subsequent years to work doubly hard in order to make up for the deficiencies of his pre- liminary education. He attended the classes of Professors X BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH. Pillans, Dunbar, Wilson, Wallace, Dr. Ritchie, and Sir John Leslie. He was noted as a diligent and well-conducted brilHant or student ; but he seems to have made no very distinguished figure in any leading branch of academic study. His mind was of that order which comes to maturity rather than rather slowly ; and he aimed at solid progress showy distinction. Early in his college career he resolved to study for the Christian ministry. In this matter he was greatly influenced by his mother, who was a woman of fervent piety and great Christian worth. All her children owed much to her pru- dent and prayerful training ; but Patrick seems to have been specially benefited by her influence, and example. On the occasion of her death in 1861, her distinguished son thus ' wrote of her : I doubt if I should ever have thought of giving myself to the ministry, had it not been for the early bent my mind received from her spirit and instructions. While I live I cannot but cherish her memory with afl"ection and regard ; and I shall rest in the hope of meeting her in another and better state of existence.' The young student never prized highly the advantages presented by the classes at the University as they were con- ducted in his time. With one or two exceptions, the pro- fessors in the Arts Course were not successful teachers j and few students ever thought of taking a degree. Wilson was a brilliant lecturer, but he never attempted any systematic instruction in Moral Philosophy. Wallace and Leslie were profound mathematicians, but failed in carrying their students along with them in the demonstrations of the class-room. Patrick Fairbairn never ceased to lament the imperfect training he received at college. The great im- BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH. XI provements that have of late been effected in the Edinburgh University system were not even projected in his early academic days. When he entered the Divinity Hall, he found matters worse than they were in the Faculty of Arts. Dr. William Ritchie, an old and infirm man, who had never been very efficient, was Professor of Systematic Divinity ; Dr. Brunton was Professor of Hebrew ; and Dr. Meiklejohn of Church History. There was nothing in the Hall to stimulate or reward the exertions of the students. Dulness and routine prevailed in all the classes ; there was in none of them much evangelical life or theological enthusiasm. Several able young men were fellow-students with Patrick Fairbairn, and like him afterwards made a distinguished figure in the Church ; but they owed little of their learning to the instructions of the theological professors. It was not till Dr. Chalmers had been appointed to the Chair of Syste- matic Theology, and Dr. Welsh to the Chair of Church History, that the Edinburgh Divinity Hall acquired a character worthy of the famous University to which it belongs. It must here be mentioned that the young Berwickshire student received much assistance in the course of his philosophical studies from a Mr. Hay, a small merchant in the quiet little town of Gordon, near Greenlaw. This Mr. Hay belonged to a class of men who were, perhaps, once more numerous in Scotland than they are now,—men who, though moving in a humble station, and possessed of limited means, yet contrived to cultivate literature and philosophy in a remarkable manner, and to gather all sorts of informa- tion from such miscellaneous collections of books as they XU BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH. were able to purchase or borrow. This Gordon philosopher delighted to impart to superior young men the various knowledge he had accumulated, and to kindle in their minds that genuine love of moral and metaphysical specu- lation with which he was himself inspired. During a considerable period of his University career, Mr. Fairbaim attended the ministry of Dr. Robert Gordon, then held in the highest repute as a powerful evangelical preacher. The high intellect of Dr. Gordon, joined to his solemn and impressive pulpit oratory, peculiarly attracted the better class of theological students, and indeed many leading pro- fessional men in Edinburgh. His influence in recommend- ing the gospel to the more cultivated classes of society was very great ; and down to the close of his life he was, as a highly intellectual yet truly spiritual preacher, almost un- rivalled. It is well known that the late Principal Cunning- ham was profoundly influenced in early life by one of Dr. Gordon's printed sermons, and that ever afterwards he re- garded him with special affection. Patrick Fairbairn must also be set down as one of those young men of high pro- mise who received great benefit, at a critical period of life, from Dr. Gordon's powerful ministrations. There was another excellent Edinburgh minister to whom the youthful student was introduced in his college days, and to whom he became united by the ties of the closest friendship. This was the late Dr. James Henderson of Free St. Enoch's Church, Glasgow, who in the early part of his life was minister of Stockbridge Chapel of Ease, Edinburgh. After living on terms of cordial intimacy for half a century, the two friends were but a short while separated by death. Dr. Hender- son surviving Principal Fairbaim little more than a month.

    Haddington House Journal, 2004 Evangelical Biblical Interpreters: Puritans, Germans, and Scots (Part II)1 Jack C. Whytock Purpose The purposes of these particular lectures are the same as in Part I in this series, and so I rehearse these purposes for your benefit. First, we want to promote the serious study of the Word of God – the scriptures. To that end we want to introduce or to become better acquainted with select evangelical interpreters who have stood the test of time. In addition to this overarching purpose I offer also the following: to help with guidance for your personal library acquisitions; to give some guidance in the vast field of biblical interpreters; to help you in your studies, preaching, and writing by giving signposts to library usage; and to encourage you to see the faithful workers who have served their generation and laboured well and so may they inspire and inflame you to press forward. Each generation can be blessed by taking a few hours of study on the heritage of evangelical biblical interpreters. Most will cite Spurgeon‘s two masterful lectures in the nineteenth century, which eventually became his Commenting and Commentaries.2 1 These lectures were first given on February 18th, and on March 18th, 2003 as Haddington House Winter Lectures No. 3, and 4, Moncton, N. B. This paper is in substance these lectures. It is also reflective of the way Haddington House attempts to conduct theological training. 2 There have been various printings of this, and it is now available in electronic format. See, C.H.

  • Professor Macgregor, Dr. Laidlaw and the Case of William Robertson Smith by John W
    27 Professor MacGregor, Dr. Laidlaw and the Case of William Robertson Smith by John W. Keddie On December 7, 1875, Volume III of the ninth edition of the Ency­ clopaedia Britannica appeared. It included an entry under the caption "Bible", contributed by the Professor of Hebrew in the Free Church College, Aberdeen, William Robertson Smith, then a young man of twenty-nine. On March 3, 1876, alluding to some criticisms of the article which had come to his ears, Professor James Macgregor, of the Chair of Systematic Theology in New College, Edinburgh, and a former teacher of Smith's, wrote to warn him that it might bring him some trial of his "Christian wisdom and fortitude", adding; "I am thankful you have spoken out what must soon be said by some one, and what ought to be said first by our qualified experts in Old Testa­ ment study." The centenary of these events provides an appropriate occasionfor publishing the following article by Mr. Keddie, an account­ ant by profession and a member of the Free Church of Scotland. JAMES MACGREGOR, D.D. (1830-1894), was Professor of Systematic Theology in the New College, Edinburgh, at the time the Robertson Smith case occupied the attention of the Free Church of Scotland (1877-1881), and the Rev. John Laidlaw, D.D. (1832-1906), was MacGregor's successor to that Chair after the latter's resignation and emigration to New Zealand in 1881. 1 Interest in the position of Professor MacGregor in the Smith Case lies particularly in the following factors: First, he was the Professor of an important Chair of Theology in what was regarded as one of the foremost theological colleges in the English-speaking world.

Of course, the primer for all our reading is the Word of God. Together, we confess, "We are people of one Book." Yet, our reading is not limited to the Bible. We read book after book, which helps us understand and apply the Word of God.” – David L. McKenna “The Lord God, in providing, that the books of Holy Scriptures should be written, effectually commended the writing and reading of other books touching all subjects, and sciences lawful, and lawfully handled. For though the difference be ever to be held between Divine and human writings, so as the former may worthily challenge absolute credence, and obedience, as breathing out only truth, and godliness; whereas the other are not only to be learned, but judged also: yet even in human writings, the truth in its kind, is taught commonly both more fully, and more simply, and more piously, than by speech.” – John Robinson Wise Solomon said that “Of making many books there is no end” (Eccl. 12.12), and this is true of making lists of books as well.

I have analysed his beliefs and his influence amongst the Brethren and the wider Victorian Christian world. In particular, I have used articles, both those by other Brethren writers which Kelly edited, and the many articles he wrote himself as contributions to The Bible Treasury, a published monthly magazine which he edited between 1856 and 1906. I have considered his books of Biblical exegesis and his tracts and pamphlets on other subjects. While Kelly also edited the work of John Nelson Darby (1880-1882), I have contended that Kelly was an independent theologian in his own right and not just an indiscriminate follower of Darby’s teaching.

  • Representations of Reformed Eschatology 41
    Chapter 2 ISRAEL – AND REPRESENTATIONS OF CONTEMPORARY REFORMED ESCHATOLOGY here is a segment of evangelical Christianity in this twenty-first century that, in varying T degrees, looks with subtle disdain upon Jews and the present state of Israel, especially where discussion concerns the modern secular aspirations of Zionism. Not surprisingly, this perception is derived from a grid of doctrinal presuppositions, rooted in specific historic and systematic currents, that inevitably lead to a platform of aloofness and disparagement that, to be perfectly candid, can only be defined as a form of theological anti-Semitism. This writer, in associating with Calvinistic and Reformed Christians, has experienced this condescending attitude, this cool, qualified tolerance at best, on numerous occasions in both conversation and published form. Of course this opposition to matters associated with national Judaism does not come with an open face, so to speak, at least in most instances. Rather it is clothed in terms that on the one hand forthrightly deny the unbelieving Jew of any present divine covenantal rights while on the other hand there is token acknowledgment that nevertheless, the Christian ought to love these rejecters of Christ and continue in witnessing to them. Minimal recognition of the individual Jew is allowed in that he is identified by the term “Jew” in a nominal sense, even though there is strenuous assertion, though commonly not in his presence, that he is forever disinherited from the land and any covenant relationship with God, and in fact in no sense is he to be regarded as a distinctive Jew in the flesh, in the sight of the God of Abraham.
