About this book
Houston, Thomas, The Duty Of Nations Favoured With Divine Revelation To Promote Scriptural Education
Author: Thomas Houston, Rev.
Year: 1840
Rev. Thomas Houston of Knockbracken, County Down Ireland, was a minister of the Reformed Presbyterian Church of Ireland. He born in County Antrim in 1803, grew up in the ministry of Rev. William Stavely, a prominent figure among Irish Covenanters. His early Christian devotion led him to study at the Belfast Academical Institution in 1819 and later to theological training under Rev. Andrew Symington. Licensed to preach in 1826, Houston was called to serve at Knockbracken, County Down in 1828, where he remained for 54 years. He edited The Covenanter for 30 years, during which he engaged in theological debates, notably over the duties of civil magistrates. Houston also played a key role in the 1853 covenant renewal at Dervock and, from 1854 until his death in 1882, taught Church History and Theology at the R.P. Theological Hall.
