Book Description

Excerpt from The Substance of a Discourse, in Two Parts: Delivered in the Meeting-House of the First Baptist Church in Lexington, February 3, 1822; To the Class of the Medical School of Transylvania University If it be asked why I am so much in earnest upon the subject of revealed religion I answer, that the God of the Bible may be regarded as the God of nature, and that our opinions and sentiments of him and ourselves be formed in accordance with his character and the relation we sustain to him as he has revealed them for a man may live all his life ignorant of God and of himself and be a philosopher too.
