description: A contemporary of such outstanding evangelical theologians as Charles Hodge, J.H. Thornwell, and W.G.T. Shedd, R.L. Dabney was "second to none as an exponent of the theology which these leaders held in common." So writes Iain Murray, who also praises Dabney for his "penetrating thought and fresh style" in Banner of Truth magazine.In addition to "the establishment of Divine Truth," the author's main purpose in writing these lectures was "to furnish students in divinity, pastors, and intelligent lay-Christians, a view of the whole field of Christian theology....Every head of divinity has received at least brief attention." The author offered this volume "to the people of God, in the hope that it may assist to establish them in the old and orthodox doctrines which have been the power and glory of the Reformed churches."Albert H. Freundt, Jr., of Reformed Theological Seminary finds this volume "a masterful and fresh exposition of the Reformed faith. It is worthy of study by all who wish to see the doctrine of the Westminster Standards clearly stated, faithfully defended, and held in high regard as an adequate embodiment of the system of truth taught in the Scriptures."R.L. Dabney (1820-1898) was the leading Southern Presbyterian of his day. He taught at Union Theological Seminary in Virginia from 1853 to 1883 and wrote more than ten books, including Sacred Rhetoric and the four-volume Discussions.
