Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old and New Theology It has now become a practical one. A de cision is now being made whether we will continue with the church of our former choice, or unite with those who, without changing their name, have organized a new body. With a view of giving information to such as desire to ascertain on which side the truth lies, we shall present, in as concise a manner as the case will admit, the distinguishing fea tures of the New Theology - comparing them, as we proceed, with those doctrines which have, by way of contrast, been denominated old. For the sentiments of the Old School we shall refer to the Confession of Faith of the Presbyterian church and to standard Calvin istic writers. We think this cannot be rea sonably objected to, even by our New School brethren; since they have never charged the former with departing from the Confession of Faith. For the New School doctrines, we shall make quotations from the professors at New Haven, Mr. F ihney, and various minis ters in the Presbyterian church. We quote from those first named, because Dr. Taylor and his associates, though belonging to ah other denomination, are regarded as the mo dern authors of these speculations; and Mr. Finney, until within a few years past, belong ed to our body, and preached and published most of his sentiments on these subjects be fore he left the church.
