THE RELIGIOUS TRACT SOCIETY: 56, PATERNOSTER Row; 65, ST. PAUL'S CHURCHYARD; AND 164, PICCADILLY. PREFACE. OUR new writers appear as contributors to the Present F° Day Series of Tracts for the first time, in the set bound up in this Volume. Mr. Stevenson writes on "The Claim of Christ on the Conscience." Starting from a principle which no one will dispute, viz., that every one is bound to do what he perceives to be right, and obey his highest impulse at all hazards, he proceeds to show in a most convincing manner that the claim which the right, the good, the highest lays upon us is the claim of Jesus. Appealing as it does simply to the moral sense of the reader, and requiring no special information or learning to understand, this Tract is fitted for the widest circulation among the thoughtful and intelligent of all classes. Dr. Stoughton contributes a Tract on "The Doctrine of the Atonement, Historically and Scripturally Examined." He gives a rapid survey of the development of the doctrine in Christian literature, sums up the results of the review, and applies the Scripture test, appealing to the Old as well as to the New Testament. Christian believers will be instructed and confirmed by reading the Tract, and the minds of those who are perplexed and unsettled on the subject will find the presentation of the truth given in it well-fitted to solve their difficulties, and give clear and sound views of it. Mr. McCheyne Edgar assumes the fact of the "Resurrection of Jesus Christ," and discusses its significance: he shows its historic, dogmatic, moral, and spiritual value. The Tract is a valuable supplement to Prebendary Row's powerful but purely 277217 |
