Description

In the Publisher’s Preface, John T. Shryock writes that this book contains “all that can be recovered of the writings of the late Rev. Samuel Porter” (p. 5). There are 3 discourses, delivered between 1793 and 1811, along with “Dialogues between Death and the Believer; and Death and the Hypocrite” (p. 205). The discourses had previously appeared in pamphlet form; their republication here was intended to provide “specimens of the doctrinal opinions and practical teachings of one, who in the forming state of the Presbyterian Church in Western Pennsylvania, was ‘set for the defence and confirmation of [the] gospel” (p. 5).
