James VI., a See also:grandson of See also:Colonel John Erskine of Carnock. After being educated at the high school of Edinburgh and at See also:Durham, he attended the See also:literary and See also:law classes at the university of Edinburgh, and becoming in 1810 a member of the Edinburgh See also:faculty of See also:advocates, he for some See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O.

time enjoyed the intimate acquaintance of See also:Cockburn, See also:Jeffrey, See also:Scott and other distinguished men whose See also:- TALENT (Lat. talentum, adaptation of Gr. TaXavrov, balance, !

lent lustre to the Scottish See also:bar. In 1816 he succeeded to the See also:family See also:estate of Linlathen, near See also:Dundee, and devoted himself to See also:theology. The writings of Erskine, especially his published letters, are distinguished by a graceful See also:style, and possess originality and See also:interest. His theological views have a considerable similarity to those of See also:Frederick See also:Denison See also:Maurice, who acknowledges having been indebted to him for his first true conception of the meaning of See also:Christ's See also:sacrifice. Erskine had little interest in the " See also:historical See also:criticism " of See also:Christianity, and regarded as the only proper criterion of its truth its conformity or See also:nonconformity with See also:man's spiritual nature, and its adapt-ability or non-adaptability to man's spiritual needs. He considered the incarnation of Christ as the necessary manifestation to man of an eternal sonship in the divine nature, apart from which those filial qualities which See also:God demands from man could have no See also:sanction; by faith as used in Scripture he understood to be meant a certain moral or spiritual activity or See also:energy which virtually implied salvation, because it implied the existence of a principle of spiritual See also:life possessed of an immortal See also:power. This faith, he believed, could be properly awakened only by the manifestation, through Christ, of love as the law of life, and as identical with an eternal righteousness which it was God's purpose to bestow on every individual soul.
