About This Product
A relatively popular subject because of a lamentably popular practice.
The word "backslider" only occurs in the Old Testament, although that which it signifies is found in many places in the New. By backsliding is meant, speaking broadly, a leaving or sliding back from a position or profession once maintained, or from a state of soul once enjoyed.
That a truly converted soul may backslide is sadly, sadly true, but to limit the thought of backsliding to such has been the source of endless confusion and mischief. There are really three great classes of backsliders in connection with the profession of Christianity, and each class, as we shall see, perfectly distinct from the other.
