Candlish: The Fatherhood of God

I have created a PBB resource of Robert S. Candlish's lectures on The Fatherhood of God. You can download it by clicking the attachment link below.

J.I. Packer writes, "What is a Christian? The question can be answered in many ways, but the richest answer I know is that a Christian is one who has God as Father." (Knowing God, page 200). I don't know about you, but my experience of the Christian life -- both high points and low -- is directly related to how deeply I grasp the Father's love for me at the moment.

CANDLISH, ROBERT SMITH (1806–1873)

Scottish church leader
Born in Edinburgh, Candlish received an M.A. from Glasgow University and attended Divinity Hall (1823–1826). Licensed in 1828, he became assistant minister at St. Andrew’s Church, Glasgow, and later at Bonhill, Dunbartonshire. In 1834 he became minister of the prestigious St. George’s Church, Edinburgh. In 1839 he joined the evangelicals in the Church of Scotland, led by Thomas Chalmers, whom he supported on the patronage issue. Eventually Candlish took part in the formation of the Free Church of Scotland (1843).

This book is a collection of Candlish's discourses on Psalms 19, 32 51 and 91, and assorted passages in John's Gospel, 1 Corinthians and Revelation that were compiled posthumously in this work. There is an appendix with addresses to students at the New College, Edinburgh.
