Synopsis

""A Guide To The Study Of Christian Religion"" by Gerald Birney Smith is a comprehensive and informative book that provides a detailed exploration of the Christian religion. The book is divided into several sections that cover various aspects of Christianity, including its history, beliefs, practices, and institutions. The author begins by discussing the origins of Christianity, tracing its roots back to the life of Jesus Christ and the early Christian communities. He then delves into the major theological concepts that underpin the religion, such as the nature of God, the role of Jesus Christ, and the importance of faith and salvation.In addition to exploring the core beliefs of Christianity, the book also examines the various practices and rituals that are central to the religion, such as baptism, communion, and prayer. The author also provides an in-depth analysis of the organizational structures of the Christian Church, including its hierarchy, leadership, and governance.Throughout the book, the author draws on a wide range of sources, including biblical texts, historical documents, and contemporary scholarship, to provide a nuanced and comprehensive understanding of Christianity. The book is written in an accessible and engaging style, making it an ideal resource for students, scholars, and anyone interested in learning more about the Christian religion.By William Herbert Perry Faunce, Shailer Mathews, J.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

That Christianity is today passing through one of the most significant transformations in its history is a fact parent on every hand. The present generation has come into full consciousness of the new world which has arisen as a result of the discoveries and inventions of the past century or more. New social and industrial conditions, new acquaintance with the non-C hristian world of today, a more thoroughgoing knowledge of the vast stretches of human history, and a new science with its promise of a hitherto undreamed-of mastery of the forces of the universe, have led to a new appreciation of the task of the Christian church. Thus the divinity school today is attempting to organize the education of ministers of the gospel and of religious teachers and missionaries with reference to many situations and problems which formerly did not exist. The history of Christianity can no longer be studied in isolation from the total history of which it is a part. The study of theB ible must be undertaken with a full understanding of all that is involved in the processes of historical criticism. Systematic theology must consider religious beliefs in relation to the modern scientific and philosophical ideals which are regnant. The department of practical theology must deal with the bewildering needs occasioned by the shifting habits of people in modern industrial and spiritual life. An entirely new realm of theological training has been organized in order to prepare men to understand the social problems which are so intimately related to the reU gious life.
