Justification by Faith: A Charge Delivered Before the Clergy of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Ohio, and at the Twenty-Second Annual Convention of the Diocese, in St. Paul's Church, Steubenville, September 13, 1 39 with an Appendix

Excerpt from Justification by Faith: A Charge Delivered Before the Clergy of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Ohio, and at the Twenty-Second Annual Convention of the Diocese, in St. Paul's Church, Steubenville, September 13, 1 39 With an Appendix

IT is due to the Convention, at whose request this Charge is published, to say that although, in its present form, it contains many pages which were not connected with it as delivered; nothing has been added, in point of doctrine, which was not substantially before the Conven tion when the publication was requested. The unexpected delay in the issue from the press, has arisen from the desire of the author to make such arrangements with a publisher, as would relieve the Diocese from much of the expense of the edition. It has been said that the Charge was directed against the Oxford Tracts. The fact is adverted to, because otherwise it might cause a misinterpretation of some detriment to the object of the writer. Doubtless the peculiar ities of the recent Oxford divinity, on the subjectof Justification, were often in view in the writing of the Charge; and the author has no question that there is serious error enough in that divini ty, on this one subject, to furnish subject-matter for much more than an Episcopal Charge; but the reader will be disappointed if he expects to trace a reference thereto in every part of this publication. Distinctly to exhibit certain main truths involved in the great matter of a sinner's J ustification before God, and to point out certain main errors in that connection, has been the sin gle object of the writer.
