Förlagets beskrivning
Excerpt from Essays and Dialogues, on the Powers and Susceptibilities of the Human Mind for Religion: Showing the Necessity of the Word of God, or of Supernatural Revelation, to the Existence of It in the Present Fallen State of Man, and on Many Other of the Most Important Subjects of Christianity
This volume is published from a sense of the importance of the subjects investigated in it to the spiritual and moral improvement and happiness of mankind. The subject matter of it, in a great measure, has been under the habitual consideration of the author since the year 1802, and was first prompted by a great religions excitement that existed at that time in the western country; out of which three new religious denominations were founded, one of which were the Shakers.
In the year 1813 he published a volume entitled "The Philosophy of the human mind in regard to religion, " which was produced by the same cause, and embraced in some degree a few of the subjects of this volume, though in a less perspicuous manner.
It is believed that an erroneous philosophy of the human mind, and unscriptural views of the operations of the Spirit of God, and of the origin, nature and use of the word of God, in the communication of Spiritual knowledge, according to which God gives religion, exist, and have existed more or less since early after the Apostolic age, and are the causes of the slow progress, errors, and imperfections of the Christian Religion, and of the Christian character in the world.
If these errors exist, they must be sought out and corrected by a patient and candid investigation of the various subjects in which they are found, with an humble, trembling regard for the word of God. Nothing can obviate the necessity of such an investigation; nor should any danger of being opposed or condemned prevent it.
