Robert J. Breckinridge: Presbyterian minister, politician, author, abolitionist, and champion of education. Known as the "father of the Kentucky public school system" for increasing the number of children in school ten-fold during his tenure as superintendent of public education, and for his staunch support for the Union and President Lincoln during the Civil War (unpopular in his native Kentucky), Breckinridge was a man who blazed his own trail despite the difficult obstacles that stood in his way.
Robert J. Breckinridge's second volume of systematic theology, The Knowledge of God, Subjectively Considered, is divided into five parts:
The Knowledge of God, Subjectively Considered contains Breckinridge's rich prose and fiery passion. With the Logos Bible Software edition all Scripture passages in The Knowledge of God, Subjectively Considered are tagged and appear on mouse-over. This makes this resource more powerful and easier to access than ever before for scholarly work or personal Bible study. With the advanced search features of Logos Bible Software, you can perform powerful searches by topic or Scripture reference—finding, for example, every mention of "grace" or "communion."
“with an attempt to deduce and to explicate this Kingdom” (Page 370)
Breckinridge has presented the ancient truths of salvation with a freshness, an unction, and a power which vindicate to them the real character of a Gospel.
