The New York Observer once noted: "Theological students, among them for this purpose we include all who thoughtfully and patiently study the word of God, will find a volume of lectures by the late Rev. Dr. Wm. Cunningham, of Edinburgh, of great value. He was one of the great divinity scholars of Scotland, a giant in thought, devout, logical, learned, and full of reverence for the truth. His lectures to the students of New College embody the results of his profound study and long experience, and will be prized as among the most valuable contributions of the age to religious literature."
This book contains seven lectures from William Cunningham specifically directed to theological students.
