Bücher von Thomas Chalmers

The doctrine of sovereign grace is here maintained and handled in a practical manner. It has been my endeavor, in the following pages, not only to state and defend the capital truths of the gospel, in a doctrinal way; but also to point out their peculiar importance, as happily adapted to awaken the conscience, and comfort the heart; to elevate the affections, and influence the whole conduct in the way of holiness. However the doctrine of Reigning Grace may be decried as licentious, it is that very truth which God in all ages has delighted to honor; which the Divine Spirit has owned for the information and comfort, for the holiness and happiness of sinful men. Were I not fully persuaded of this, rather than appear as an advocate for it, I would condemn my tongue to everlasting silence, and my pen to perpetual rest.

On The Evils Which The Established Church In Edinburgh Has Already Suffered, And Suffers Still, In Virtue Of The Seat Letting is a book written by Thomas Chalmers in 1835. The book discusses the negative impact of the practice of seat letting on the Established Church in Edinburgh. Seat letting refers to the practice of charging people for seats in church, which was a common practice at the time.Chalmers argues that seat letting is detrimental to the Church as it creates a class system within the congregation, with wealthy people occupying the best seats and the poor being relegated to the back. He also argues that the practice is contrary to the principles of Christianity, which advocate for equality and the elimination of social distinctions.The book provides a historical account of the origins of seat letting in the Church, tracing it back to the 17th century. Chalmers also discusses the efforts made by the Church to abolish the practice, including the introduction of free seating, which was met with resistance from wealthy members of the congregation.Overall, On The Evils Which The Established Church In Edinburgh Has Already Suffered, And Suffers Still, In Virtue Of The Seat Letting is a thought-provoking book that highlights the negative impact of seat letting on the Church and its members. It provides a historical perspective on the issue and argues for the elimination of the practice in favor of a more egalitarian system.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
