Union Seminary Magazine PDF Download

Excerpt from The Union Seminary Magazine, Vol. 16: 1904-1905 This revision material, from a purely formal point of view, parts into three classes: some of it makes alterations in the text of the Confession; some of it makes additions to the text of the Confession; some of it makes explanations of the text of the Confession. This purely formal division of it, naturally, carries us but a very little way into our problem, which is to determine the material cfiect of its insertion into the Confession. It will supply, nevertheless, a clear and useful order of treat ment for the several portions of the material. Accordingly we shall take up these three portions in the order of their formal importance - first the material which merely explains the text; next that which adds to the text; and finally that which alters the text, substituting itself for greater or lesser portions of it. To the first of these classes belongs the Declaratory State ment; to the second, the two new chapters, entitled Of the Holy Spirit and Of the Love of God, and Missions, together with which we may class, perhaps (materially if not formally), the final clause of the Declaratory Statement; to the last.
