, 1896

Overview

“If grace be absolutely free, so must faith be. If it be redeeming grace, its product must be a redeemed—a liberated faith. If faith obey another power than God’s grace, or if it do not deal directly with God’s grace, with Jesus Christ, with the Holy Ghost, it is an enslaved faith—even if it is broad enough to hold all the population and all the heresies.” The Charter of the Church is a clear and spirited exposition of the position of the Nonconformist Churches in England, given in a series of six lectures. The lectures are as follows: • Our Historic Principle: The Unity, Autonomy, and Continuity of the Church • Our Root Is Religious—in Faith and Free Grace • Faith Demands a Church—but Catholic, not Monopolist • We Disown the Prince, the Prelate, the Priest—and the Individualist • The European History of Our Principle • The European History of Our Principle (continued)
