Sinopsis

Discourses, Controversial and Practical, Volume 2 offers a clear, accessible look at religious debate and reform. This edition examines how faith, scripture, and church tradition interact, urging readers to weigh beliefs against moral living and the authority of God's word.


Structured as a sequence of arguments and reflections, the text probes topics from the nature of atonement to covenant, imputation, and the role of church practices. It presents how covenants shape responsibility and how historical interpretations influence present faith. The discussion aims to help readers understand core doctrines while staying grounded in everyday life and conscience.



  • Plain explanations of difficult ideas about sin, forgiveness, and the work of Christ.

  • Arguments about the authority of Scripture and how it should guide worship and church life.

  • Examples of how readers can approach religious disagreement with reason and charity.

  • Thoughtful contrasts between different church practices and their practical effects on believers.


Ideal for readers exploring Christian doctrine, church history, and the tensions between tradition and personal faith.

Excerpt from Discourses, Controversial and Practical, on Various Subjects, Vol. 2: Proper for the Consideration of the Present Times

Words, are put on the doétrinal part of revela tion; variety of interpretations, more or lefs de viating from the ftriftnefs of the exprefiions, are alfo put on its moral precepts. But whereas there is no receiving the doétrines of Chrif'tianity in their genuine purity, without, at the fame time, receiving its injunétions in their utmoft fe verity; a latitude of interpretation muft therefore be found out, which may bend the former to our Own reafon, and the latter to our own in clination; and then, but not till then, we are our own teachers and lawgivers, our own matters and governors.

Excerpt from Discourses, Controversial and Practical, on Various Subjects, Vol. 2: Proper for the Consideration of the Present Times

Right Reverend, and Reverend Gentlemen,

Such, ever since the Reformation, hath been the candour of the Church, wherein you at present worthily preside; and such her wisdom in some instances, and piety in others; that her doors have never been unreasonably shut against any man, nor her Christian charity and indulgence denied to those whom their prejudices have forbidden to enter. It is no wonder therefore, if, actuated by dispositions so ingenuous, and a spirit so truly Christian, she hath always perused, approved, and applauded, all well-executed performances, howsoever foreign to herself their authors may have been, in birth, education, communion, and even principles.
