Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Collected Writings of James Henley Thornwell, D.D., LL. D., Late Professor of Theology in the Theological Seminary at Columbia, South Carolina, Vol. 1: Theological
Accompanying what the second volume will contain upon the Doctrines of Grace, there will be found a partial discus sion of the Morals which necessarily ?ow out of those doc trines. Dr. Thornwell did not write on the other two departments of Ethics - Justice and Benevolence - but he wrote and published a separate volume of seven Discourses on Truth. The place assigned to them in this collection of all his writings is judged to be logically the most suitable one.
The third volume will contain an elaborate discussion of the Canon, the Authority of Scripture, Papal Infallibility, the Mass, the Validity of Popish Baptism, and the Claims of the Romish Church to be reckoned any Church at all. In the discussion of Popish Baptism the author was led into a thorough consideration of the Christian doctrine of J ustifi cation, 'and hence that whole argument might well have been placed in the second volume. Connected as it was, however, by other ties with the Romish controversy, it was judged best, after mature re?ection, to place it in the volume of the Theological and Polemic writings.
