Excerpt from What Is Christianity? A Study of Rival Interpretations

The aim of this work is to assist the intelligent Christian layman and the minister of the gospel who have felt the need of revising their doctrinal inheritance to reach a more satisfactory interpretation of the Christian faith. Everyone who has taken the pains to acquaint himself in any tolerable degree with the effects which the adoption of the methods of modern science in many fields of theological investigation has produced in the minds of great numbers of students for the ministry must be aware of the imperativeness of thinking through afresh the essential problems of theology. In no department of Christian thought is this imperativeness more evident than in the subject of apologetics. The older works on this subject, notwithstanding the splendid philosophic ability exhibited in many of them, demonstrably fail to meet the most insistent questions of our times. The discussions presented in this volume are, in the mind of the author, preparatory to a statement and vindication of the truth of the Christian religion. They do not constitute a formal introduction to such a task, as anyone can easily see. But it is hoped that a survey of the best-known types of the Christian faith will assist the inquiring reader to reach at least a point of view from which his work of formulating a theology' for himself may begin.

What is here written is the fruit of a great many years of reading and reflection combined with the searching experiences of the classroom.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating history and evolution of Christian thought, exploring how different interpretations of the faith have shaped its beliefs and practices throughout the ages. It examines how the concept of the Messiah, as defined by Jewish Apocalypticism, heavily influenced the early Christian understanding of Jesus and his mission. The author traces how this influence, along with other cultural and philosophical influences, shaped the development of different Christian traditions, from Catholicism to Protestantism. The book explores how these traditions grapple with the enduring themes of salvation, judgment, and the afterlife, offering valuable insights into the complex interplay of faith, reason, and history in defining Christianity. By tracing the historical roots of these interpretations, the author illuminates the challenges and opportunities inherent in understanding and re-interpreting the Christian faith. Through a careful examination of these contrasting views, the book offers a compelling analysis of the enduring relevance of these foundational concepts for understanding Christianity today. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
