Hugh Binning, The Common Principles of the Christian Religion, clearly proved, and singularly improved; or a Practical Catechism, wherein some of the most concerning foundations of our faith are solidly laid down; and that doctrine which is according to godliness, is sweetly, yet pungently pressed home, and most satisfyingly handled
From The Works of the Rev. Hugh Binning, M.A., edited by Rev. M. Leishman, The Life of the Author: Quote: |
This book is an excellent exposition of the Westminster Catechism, so far as it goes, viz. to the twenty-first question, 'Who is the Redeemer of God's elect?' Mr. Patrick Gillespie writes a preface to the reader, wherein he expresses his high opinion of it in the following encomium: "In this book Mr. Binning explains many of the fundamental articles of the Christian faith, and had he lived to have perfected and finished this work, he had been upon this single account famous in the church of Christ." The Assembly's Catechism has had many expositions by pious and learned ministers, some of them by way of sermon, and others by way of question and answer. But this, so far as it goes, is not inferior to any.
