The Voluntary System: A Prize Essay In Reply To Dr. Chalmers On Church Establishments (1839) - Joseph Angus - Bog

The Voluntary System: A Prize Essay In Reply To Dr. Chalmers On Church Establishments is a book written by Joseph Angus in 1839. The book is a response to Dr. Chalmers' argument for the establishment of a national church in Scotland. Angus argues against this, advocating for a voluntary system of religious organizations rather than a state-sponsored one. He believes that a voluntary system would allow for greater freedom of religious expression and would promote a more authentic faith experience for individuals. The book is written in a persuasive style and presents a well-reasoned argument against state-sponsored religious establishments. It is an important historical document that sheds light on the debates surrounding church-state relations in Scotland during the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
