Synopsis

The Theological Propaedeutic is a comprehensive introductory guide to the study of theology, written by Philip Schaff. The book covers four main areas of study: exegetical, historical, systematic, and practical theology. The exegetical section explores the interpretation of biblical texts and their relevance to theological study. The historical section provides an overview of the development of theology throughout history, from the early church to the modern era. The systematic section examines the fundamental doctrines of Christianity, such as the nature of God, the Trinity, and salvation. Finally, the practical section explores the application of theology to everyday life, including ethics, worship, and pastoral care. Throughout the book, Schaff emphasizes the importance of a holistic approach to theological study, incorporating both academic rigor and practical application. This book is an essential resource for anyone seeking a comprehensive introduction to the study of theology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book is intended to be a guide for theological students in the first year of their course of preparation for the ministry of the gospel. It gives an outline of the various departments of theology, defines their nature and aim, their boundary lines and organic connection, their respective functions and value ;it sketches their history, and indicates the best methods of prosecuting their study. It answers the purposes of a map for orientation. Formal Encyclopgedia, Methodology and Bibliography are here combined. The new title Propedeutic, which I have chosen after a good deal of reflection, is more comprehensive and more appropriate than the usual title Encyclopaedia, which does not necessarily include Methodology and Bibliography, and is almost exclusively understood among us in the sense of an alphabetical dictionary of the matter of knowledge. I beg the indulgence of the English reader for introducing a uniform terminology in the singular form for the several departments, as I sagogic, Canonic, Patristic, A pologetic, Dogmatic, Ethic, Symbolic, Polemic, Statistic, Homiletic, Catechetic, IA turgic, Poimenic, Evangelistic. Some of these terms are new and sound strange, but they are coined after analogy from the Greek, like most of our scientific designations. The singular form is shorter than the plural and more in accordance with Greek and German usage. The English usage is inconsistent almost beyond remedy; for while we have Logic (from Xoyi Kr, sc. Texvr, or emorrjfiT), Rhetoric, Music, Arithmetic (which are not likely When I was appointed, in 1869, Professor of Encyclopaedia and Symbolic, in the Union Theological Seminary, a doctor of divinity and editor of a leading religious periodical asked me, Pray, tell me the name of your professorship.
