For the text of this tract and for information regarding its publication history, see https://www.pcahistory.org/documents/auburnheresy.html.
This address was first delivered on February 28, 1935 at a meeting of Presbyterian laymen in Philadelphia. It was later published in The Southern Presbyterian Journal on July 15, 1946 and then subsequently reproduced in tract form through at least three printings. The Auburn Affirmation was itself first issued on December 26, 1923, in response to the action of the 1923 General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A. But it was the proposed Reunion of the Northern PCUSA and the Southern PCUS that here prompted a reprinting of Dr. Clark's analysis, as that Affirmation continued to serve as a bellweather for the spiritual climate of the Northern Presbyterian Church. For a related critique of the Affirmation, see also the article by the Rev. William Childs Robinson, late professor at Columbia Theological Seminary, Decatur, GA., entitled The Liberal Attack Upon the Supernatural Christ.
