We congratulate the friends of truth and order on the appearance of these publications. We have never had any doubt what would be the decision of the public mind respecting the new divinity and new-measure system of our day, if its distinctive features could be brought out to the light and exposed to general observation.

False Teachers
On Revivals of Religion: Review of Charles G. Finney – Part II by Albert Dod
NATURAL DEPRAVITY As might have been expected from what has already been said, Mr. Finney denies that there is any such thing as natural depravity. His views on this subject are easily exhibited. We might describe them all, indeed, in a single phrase, by saying, that they are neither more nor less than the old [...]
On Revivals of Religion: Review of Charles G. Finney – Part III by Albert Dod
We proceed to exhibit to our readers the measures recommended and the spirit displayed in Mr. Finney’s Lectures on Revivals. We do this at the known hazard of being denounced as enemies to revivals, and friends of Satan. But it is a very small thing with us that we should be judged of Mr. Finney’s [...]
On Revivals of Religion: Review of Charles G. Finney – Part IV by Albert Dod
MEASURES TO KEEP FINNEY’S CONVERTS IN THE CHURCH The way is thus laid perfectly open for the entrance of his converts into the church. But how shall they be kept there? There are two new measures proposed by him that might seem to aim at this end, but both of them inadequate. The first is, [...]
The Legacy of Charles Finney by Michael S. Horton
Jerry Falwell calls him ‘one of my heroes and a hero to many evangelicals, including Billy Graham.’ I recall wandering through the Billy Graham Center some years ago, observing the place of honor given to Finney in the evangelical tradition, reinforced by the first class in theology I had at a Christian college, where Finney’s [...]
The Distinguishing Marks of False Teachers by Thomas Brooks
‘But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be [...]
Finney: The Aftermath by Monte E. Wilson
‘And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the LORD, which he commanded them not.‘ Leviticus 10:1 Modern Evangelicalism bears little resemblance to the faith of our Puritan and Pilgrim fathers. Our aim is to make [...]
Charles Finney’s Doctrine of Justification by David H. Linden
Charles Grandison Finney lived in a day when a certain view of justification was in vogue. It would always be in his mind as that other view he did not hold, a view of faith alone as the condition and the obedience of Christ as the foundation. This Reformation doctrine, Finney would turn on its [...]
Another Gospel by Arthur W. Pink
Satan is not an initiator but an imitator. God has an only begotten Son–the Lord Jesus, and so has Satan–’the son of Perdition’ (2 Thess. 2:3). There is a Holy Trinity, and there is likewise a Trinity of Evil (Rev. 20:10). Do we read of the ‘children of God,’ so also we read of ‘the [...]
