Nevin on the church

A couple of quotations from Hart’s biography of Nevin: “The force of the question in the end is nothing less than this, whether the original catholic doctrine concerning the Church, as it stood in universal authority through all ages before the Reformation, is to be received and held still as a necessary part of the christian faith, or deliberately rejected and refused as an error dangerous to men’s souls at war with the Bible?”

And Hart on Nevin: “Nevin . . . implied that the divide between modern and historic Christianity was greater than that between Protestants and Roman Catholics.”
