He then proceeds to explain the practical outworking of truth as it relates to sincerity, faithfulness, vows, and consistency. These lectures demonstrate Thornwell’s masterful skill as a moral philosopher and gospel preacher.
Author James Henley Thornwell (December 9, 1812 – August 1, 1862) was an American Presbyterian preacher and religious writer.
