I remember reading a sermon Dabney preached to the Confederate troops, a night before a big battle. It was a powerful and moving sermon, to be preached in such circumstances! I believe it was in one of the volumes of his Discussions. If you are not aware already, many of Dabney's writings are online: https://reformedbooksonline.com/american/southern-presbyterians/dabney-robert/

I know, Ned spin

It was hard to choose between Asian, Oriental, and Chinese (my ethnicity, but I'm not from the PRC or ROC)—political correctness and racial stereotyping have turned writing into a minefield. I just gave up and picked a word that naturally stood in contrast to Western.

Yes, it was the Discussions published by the Banner of Truth. Thank you for the link! Looks like the BoT edited it heavily, just as they edited Arthur Pink's Sovereignty of God. Suppressing information and free speech stifles discussion, which is the best way to prevent the escalation of conflict. When will we ever learn?

In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
