About this listen
This episode explores chapter one of Rev. Finis Ewing's book: "Lectures on Important Subjects in Divinity."
Finis Ewing (1773–1841) was one of the three founding ministers of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. Born in Virginia, he later moved to Kentucky and became a central figure in the early 19th-century revival movement. In 1810, after being denied ordination in the mainline Presbyterian Church due to issues related to theological education and revivalism, he helped establish the Cumberland Presbytery along with Samuel McAdow and Samuel King.Ewing played a significant role in the shaping of the 1814 Confession of Faith and wrote Lectures on the Doctrines of Christianity to explain the doctrinal positions of the new denomination. He was known for his preaching, evangelistic zeal, and commitment to making theology accessible to frontier communities.
