OLD AND NEW THEOLOGY WOO933
The following treatise is designed to demonstrate that the issue between the two parties in the late controversy in the Presbyterian Church was strictly a doctrinal one. Hence the work consists mainly of a comparison of doctrinal views, as contained in the productions of Old and New school writers. Near the close of the volume we remark, "It has been our aim, both in our statements and quotations, to exhibit the doctrines of the New Theology, just as they are, without the least exaggeration. For this Purpose numerous, and sufficiently extended as to length, to give a correct view of their sentiments. But if it can be made to appear that we have misrepresented their views in a single important point, we shall cheerfully rectify the mistake." The first edition was published in 1838; and the second in 1845. It has been circulated widely; but up to the present no corrections proposed. Is not this silence a virtual admission of the fidelity of our quotations, and the essential verity of our statements? It has been denied, indeed, that the New school Presbyterians as the body, maintain the errors imputed to them by their Old school brethren; and yet the existence of those errors among them, they themselves acknowledge.
