The Philosophy Of Religion Of Alexander Campbell PDF Download

Excerpt from Alexander Campbell and Christian Liberty This is first of all a book for the people. Realizing that many of the best works today are utterly beyond the reach of the aver age mind because of the use of technicalities of theology and philosophy, the author has endeavored to put things in a clear, straightforward way to the capacity of the average man. Mr. Campbell is unknown today except by a few who have spent years in his presence. All need to know him, from the least to the greatest. There have been some excellent books written about him. The uniqueness of this book is to let him speak for himself. In a time like this, when brother stands confronting brother, when each would designate the other by some harsh and odious name, when to slay a reputation is counted among earth's most brilliant achievements, when soul would fetter soul - all need to hear the clear, strong voice which rang through the nineteenth Century calling for Christian Liberty. Extensive quotations from others have been made in order that Mr. Campbell's ideas might stand, both in their comparison and their contrast, along with the best utterance of modern thought. None but the ablest scholars of world-wide reputation have been used in this way. It is the candid judgment of the author that Mr. Campbell suffers nothing from such association. On the contrary, he who began to speak one hundred years ago proves himself by his own utterance to be a scholar among scholars.
