Synopsis

A clear, accessible survey of Christian doctrine for students and readers alike.

The Christian Religion in Its Doctrinal Expression presents a broad, readable overview of theology in light of modern learning, while keeping the core gospel message intact. This edition aims to balance clarity with depth, helping you grasp how theology relates to worship, life, and the world.

This work frames theology as a living, historical dialogue. It traces how contemporary study reshapes our understanding of God, Christ, Scripture, and faith. It emphasizes that Christian belief remains vital in a modern context and equips readers with a workable framework for thinking about religion, experience, and truth.

• Learn how religion and theology are defined and connected
• Explore how knowledge of God is formed through Scripture, experience, and revelation
• See how Christian doctrine develops in relation to science, philosophy, and psychology
• Understand the roles of creation, providence, salvation, and eternal life in Christian thought

Ideal for students of theology, seminarians, and general readers seeking a thoughtful, well-structured introduction to Christian doctrine.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

He has been a teacher of the subject during the past eighteen years. His own method and standpoint in dealing with truth have, as a natural consequence, taken definite form. Theology is like any other science in the fact that if it is alive, it grows. This does not mean that it goes beyond Christ and the New Testament. It means, rather, that these are provocative of endless growth. The object of religion does not grow, but the subject never attains a final and static stage in the present life. Truth does not change, but we apprehend truth with increasing clearness. Down to the middle of the nineteenth century, after Luther sage, theology was engaged chiefly with the issues growing out of the Reformation. The method of theology was that derived from a past age. Theologies were comprehensive, more or less philosophical and abstract treatises. There was a very com mendable desire to systematize the truths of Christianity. But too often the biblical method and aim were sacrificed in the interest of a school of theology or a philosophical principle. For example, Arminianism overlooked certain essential truths about God in its strong championship of human freedom. As against it, Calvinism ran to extremes in some of its conclusions in its very earnest desire to safeguard the truth of God ssover eignty. We are learning to discard both names and to adhere more closely than either to the Scriptures, while retaining the truth in both systems. During the nineteenth century the whole world of human thought underwent a remarkable revolution. In physical science a new method and ideal arose. In the social and economic sphere a new sociology and political economy took shape.
