Publisher's Synopsis
A Compendium of Christian Theology is a comprehensive guide to the study of Christian theology, written by William Burt Pope and originally published in 1877. The book is divided into three main sections: Biblical Theology, Dogmatic Theology, and Historical Theology. In the section on Biblical Theology, Pope provides a detailed analysis of the major themes and concepts found in the Bible, including the nature of God, the creation of the world, the fall of humanity, and the role of Jesus Christ as savior. He also examines the various books of the Bible and their historical and cultural contexts.The section on Dogmatic Theology focuses on the beliefs and doctrines of the Christian faith, including the Trinity, the nature of Christ, the sacraments, and the role of the church. Pope provides a systematic overview of these topics, drawing on the writings of theologians from throughout Christian history.Finally, in the section on Historical Theology, Pope traces the development of Christian theology from the early church to the present day. He examines the major movements and controversies within the church, and the contributions of key figures such as Augustine, Aquinas, and Luther.Overall, A Compendium of Christian Theology is a valuable resource for anyone seeking a comprehensive understanding of Christian theology, and a testament to the enduring importance of this field of study.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
