| (1) Thomas Scott (1747 - 1821), THE FORCE
OF TRUTH, 1779, reissued 1984
by Banner of Truth Trust, Carlisle, PA, p. 60. Scott is referring to the seminal but neglected Anglican church apologist Richard Hooker (1554?--1600). In America in 2002.the quotation also fits John Henry Cardinal Newman (1801-1890). Scott’s fast paced intellectual and spiritual autobiography was one instrument in the 15 year old Newman’s 1816 conversion to pro-active, supernatural, dogmatic Calvinist Christianity within the Church of England. |
