Read the Introduction by Rev. Robert Maguire, D. D.

Evil-Questioning

"The form that this present phase of peril assumes, is that of doubt arising in the soul from the spirit of evil-questioning. This is not the spirit of legitimate inquiry, nor of diligent self-examination, but rather a spirit of unbelief, engendered in the soul by the encouragement of morbid doubts, as indicated by the names of the Doubters here referred to, which signify a revival of those doubts which question God’s electing love, his effectual call, the fullness of salvation, and that all is of God’s good grace and mercy."[2]
