By William Binnie This is Chapter 6 of the third section of William Binnie’s The Psalms: Their History, Purpose and Use. Is it so, that the Personal Religion which finds its undying expression in the Psalter is nourished by the spring of a firm hope of eternal life? That that hope filled and cheered the hearts […]
Pictures of Christ
By John Murray The question of the propriety of pictorial representations of the Saviour is one that merits examination. It must be granted that the worship of Christ is central in our holy faith, and the thought of the Saviour must in every instance be accompanied with that reverence which belongs to his worship. We […]
Broad Churchism
By Robert Lewis Dabney “It has been hitherto both the characteristic and the boast of our branch of the Reformed Church that it was a strict advocate of doctrinal correctness. Our Confession is one of the longest and most detailed, as it is the most orthodox and judicious, among the symbols of Protestantism. It has […]
Truth’s Victory Over Error

God and the Soul
