Excerpt from Ten Discourses on Orthodoxy IN revising these Discourses for the press, I have made very few references to texts and authorities, desiring to occupy the plain and well-known ground of the fundamental 1questions of theological contro versy, and relying more on reason than on erudi tion to confirm my statements.

Orthodoxy I regard, not merely as a false or defective system, but as standing in the way of a more broad and positive conception of Chris tianity.
