Bonar Bridge
Bonar Bridge ( gd, Drochaid a' Bhanna, ) is a village on the north bank of the Kyle of Sutherland to the west and the Dornoch Firth to the east in the Parish of Creich in the Highland council area of Scotland. The Kyle of Sutherland ("the Kyle" for locals) is a river estuary of the Rivers Oykel, Cassley, Shin and Carron that all enter the Kyle above the bridge at Bonar. The estuary (downstream) and the rivers (upstream) separate Sutherland from Ross and Cromarty to the south, and the estuary opens into the Dornoch Firth to the east. History Pre-History Evidence of pre-historic inhabitance abounds in the area with many ancient hut circles and cairns. One excavation was performed in 2004 by the ''Time Team'' UK Television program.

Systematic Theology
Systematic theology, or systematics, is a discipline of Christian theology that formulates an orderly, rational, and coherent account of the doctrines of the Christian faith. It addresses issues such as what the Bible teaches about certain topics or what is true about God and His universe. It also builds on biblical disciplines, church history, as well as biblical and historical theology. Systematic theology shares its systematic tasks with other disciplines such as constructive theology, dogmatics, ethics, apologetics, and philosophy of religion. Method With a methodological tradition that differs somewhat from biblical theology, systematic theology draws on the core sacred texts of Christianity, while simultaneously investigating the development of Christian doctrine over the course of history, particularly through philosophy, ethics, social sciences, and natural sciences. Using biblical texts, it attempts to compare and relate all of scripture which led to the creation ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Presbyterian Reformed Church (North America)
The Presbyterian Reformed Church (PRC) is a North American Christian denomination which was founded in Ontario, Canada on November 17, 1965, when two existing congregations, with similar Scottish Presbyterian roots, came together under a Basis of Union drafted by Prof. John Murray of Westminster Theological Seminary, Philadelphia, PA. As described in the Basis of Union, the PRC believes in the inspiration and infallibility of the Bible. Its doctrinal subordinate standards are the Westminster Confession of Faith (the 1646 edition, approved by the Church of Scotland in 1647), the Westminster Larger Catechism, and the Westminster Shorter Catechism. Holding to the simplicity of worship reflected in the Westminster Directory of Public Worship, the PRC sings psalms, exclusively and without instrumental accompaniment, in its services. The Psalter used is the Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650; the pulpit Bible is the Authorised (King James) Version. The denomination is Presb ...

Free Church Of Scotland (post-1900)
The Free Church of Scotland (Scottish Gaelic: ''An Eaglais Shaor'', ) is an evangelical, Calvinist denomination in Scotland. It was historically part of the original Free Church of Scotland that remained outside the union with the United Presbyterian Church of Scotland in 1900. Now, it remains a distinct Presbyterian denomination in Scotland. The Free Church was and still is sometimes colloquially known by the term The Wee Frees, even though, in 21st century Scotland, it is the largest Presbyterian denomination after the national church. Since this term was originally used in comparing the Free Church with the United Free Church (which is now a much smaller denomination), the Free Church of Scotland now deprecates the use of the term. Theology and doctrine The church maintains its commitment to Calvinist theology (as espoused by the Westminster Confession). Its polity is Presbyterian. A complete psalter in modern English was published in 2003. Its offices and theological c ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
