Smith-Murray Collection (#033), 1920 - 1958, bulk: 1955 - 1958
Scope and Contents
The Smith-Murray Collection contains a small sampling of Murray’s work: some notebooks from his school days in Scotland, reports to the Reformed Ecumenical Synod’s Committee on Inspiration of Scripture, early drafts on Divorce (later published by Presbyterian and Reformed Publishing in 1976), and essays on Calvinist theological subject-matter. There is also a folder containing Murray’s writings on lessons titled “Application of Redemption.” This file, whose contents Murray wrote in a numbered series, is incomplete. This was probably the earliest of Murray’s writing for his much-acclaimed book, Redemption Accomplished and Applied.
