William Swan Plumer (1802–1880) was an American clergyman, theologian, and author recognized as an intellectual leader of the Presbyterian Church in the 1800s. Plumer had the rare distinction of serving as Moderator of the General Assembly of the undivided Presbyterian denomination in 1838 and of its southern branch in 1871.

Christ is All in All

The great central truth of the religion of sinners relates to the person, character, work, sufferings, offices, and glory of Jesus Christ. These are vital in Christianity. As one is sound or corrupt here, so is he substantially right or wrong in the main. Both now and in the Last Day, the great question in determining character and destiny is the same: “What think ye of Christ?” (Matt. 22:42).
