Excerpt from The Presbyterian Quarterly, Vol. 9: January, April, July, October, 1895 I Do not care to prefix a rubric of titles of idealistic authors to this criticism, as could be very easily done after the pretentious and pedantic fashion of some review writers. I could cite quite a list, beginning with Fichte, Schelling and Hegel, down to Herbert Spencer, Kuno Fischer, of Heidelberg, and Paul Deussen, of Kiel, and could profess to give outlines of their several phases of Monism from histories of philosophy. But my object is to in struct students who are guided by common sense and their Bibles in the central doctrines of this pretended philosophy which are common to all its phases, and to expose their common errors. No two idealists are consistent with each other, nor even with themselves; hence the attempt to particularize their different schemes would be tedious and hopeless, and would disappoint my practical aim.

The American Presbyterian creed up until the second half of the twentieth century has been the confessional tradition of the Westminster Assembly (1643-48). Presbyterians in America adopted the Westminster Confession and Catechisms in 1729 through a compromise measure that produced ongoing debate for the next hundred years. Differences over the meaning of confessional subscription were a continuing cause of the Presbyterian schisms of 1741 and 1837. The Presbyterian Creed is a study of the factors that led to the ninteenth-century Old School/New School schism and the Presbyterian reunions of 1864 and 1870. In these reunions, American Presbyterians finally reached consensus on the meaning of confessional subscription that had previously been so elusive.

Excerpt from The Presbyterian Quarterly and Princeton Review, 1876, Vol. 5 Among the treasures preserved in the Library of Lane Semi nary, is the original draft of what is widely known as the AU burn declaration. More than thirty years after its prepa ration, just when the separated Presbyterian Churches were happily uniting, this interesting historical document was pre sented to the Institution by its author, the venerable baxter dickinson, D.D. It was also accompanied by valuable memo randa with respect to its authorship, and to the' circumstances which occasioned its preparation. Its contents have at various times been made public through the press, and have recently been incorporated under another name in the Presbyterian Digest. Its doctrinal quality and its important historical rela tions to the Presbyterian Church, both as separate and as united, are such as justify its further introduction to public notice in the columns of our denominational review; What will be at tempted in the present article, is a narrative of the origin of this declaration, an analysis of its contents, and a brief discussion of its doctrinal significance and value, as one among 'the inter esting memorials of our beloved Zion.

"The passing of reformed theology as a major influence in American life during the nineteenth century was not a spectacular event, and its mourners have been relatively few. Calvinism, when it is mentioned, is still often portrayed as a dark cloud that hovered too long over America, acting as an unhealthy influence on the climate of opinion. Nonetheless, the transition from the theologically oriented and well-formed Calvinism characteristic of much of American Protestantism at the beginning of the nineteenth century to the nontheologically oriented and often poorly informed conservative Protestantism firmly established in middle-class America by the end of the same century remains a remarkable aspect of American intellectual and ecclesiastical history. The twentieth-century attitude, itself a product of this transition, has placed strong emphasis on nineteenth-century Protestant activities - their organizations, their revivals, and their reforms. The mind of American Protestantism in these transitional years deserves at least equal consideration." -from the Introduction

Excerpt from The Presbyterian Quarterly Review, 1853, Vol. 1 It has been a habit of our ecclesiastical Opponents, to profess a good degree of confidence in our brethren, who happened to be their neighbours. Sometimes these commendations, if there were any hope of proselyting, have reached even flattery; but they have been balanced by a wise shake of the head, and a lamentation over some distant portion of our church, where heresy or disorder was represented as rampant. You are a ve good Calvinistic Presbyterian, but away of in some part of ew York, Ohio, Tennessee, or somewhere else, your bre thren are terrible heretics. These wailings over unsoundness in some terra incognita of our body, have had also a faint echo, from a few aged and easily alarmed theologians of New Engand.
