Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Christian Theology for the People
The author of this volume has h0pe that it may be of service to Students in Theology, and to some of his Brethren in the Ministry of our Lord. At the same time, he has prepared it with a more direct reference to the body of Christian people; for their instruction in the Christian faith. He has not, however, on this account, thought it necessary or desirable that his work should be less orderly in its form or elevated in its general character, than it would have been had he written it for the learned. A11 matter suitable only for scholars has been excluded. When technical terms are used, and words or sentences from foreign tongues, they are at once explained; so that they will occasion no embarrassment, but rather, it is hoped, may contribute to the interest and advantage of the reader.
The Theology of the volume is meant to be that which has its divine expression in Holy Scripture, and its author ity therefore in God. With respect to the power of reason in the discovery of religious truth, Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle were the peers of the mightiest of our race.
