Description

Lectures on Divinity was posted posthumously. The prowess of Witherspoon as a theologian and lecturer on Divinity was a rallying point for those called to the ministry. Witherspoon approached theology with great respect due the glorious God whom he loved and worshipped.

The Letters on Education deal with the important issue of the education of children, especially as it relates to the Christian faith and their eternal souls.

Letters on Marriage are of advantage to both those contemplating marriage and those already married.

Witherspoon penned Address to the Inhabitants of Jamaica as a way to solific funds for the establishment of some professorships at Princeton.

Speech in the Synod of Glasgow is Witherspoon’s defense of theological points before the Glasgow Synod.

An Humble Supplication was addressed to the elders and members of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland. Also included in this volume is the Speech in the General Assembly where Witherspoon addressed the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland over an issue which amounted to forcing a minister on a church that was opposed to having him.
