Several Discourses Concerning the Terms of Acceptance with God

Benjamin Hoadly (1676–1761) was an English bishop and the leading church controversialist of his generation. Rising through the sees of Bangor, Hereford, and Salisbury to Winchester, he argued that Christ's kingdom is not of this world and that sincere belief, not submission to church authority, is the term of acceptance with God. His 1717 sermon ignited the Bangorian Controversy; our library holds his discourses on the terms of acceptance with God.
