Historical Theology presents the key pillars of the contemporary church and the development of those doctrines as they evolved from the history of Christian thought. Most historical theology texts follow Christian beliefs in a strict chronological manner with the classic theological loci scattered throughout various time periods, movements, and controversies—making for good history but confusing theology. This companion to the classic bestseller Systematic Theology is unique among historical theologies. Gregg Allison sets out the history of Christian doctrine according to a topical-chronological arrangement—one theological element at a time instead of committing to a discussion of theological thought according to its historical appearance alone. This method allows you to: Contemplate one tenet of Christianity at a time, along with its formulation in the early church—through the Middle Ages, Reformation, and post-Reformation era, and into the modern period. Become familiar with the primary source material of Christian history's most important contributors, such as Cyprian, Augustine, Aquinas, Luther, Calvin, Barth, and others. Understand the development of evangelical doctrine with a focus on the centrality of the gospel. Discern a sense of urgent need for greater doctrinal understanding in the whole church. Historical Theology is an easy-to-read textbook for any Christian who wants to know how the church has come to believe what it believes today. Gregg Allison's clear and concise structure make this resource an ideal introduction to Christian doctrine.

Excerpt from Handbook of Christian Doctrine Y revered instructor in Christian Theology, Alvah Hovey, D. D., LL. D., generously granted _me permission to use his Manual of Christian Theology in the construction of this handbook. His order and outline have been fol lowed, with such changes as the intent oi this vol ume seemed to require. The purpose of my work is to present the ele ments of Christian Doctrine in a form adapted to the classroom, and to the use of students who are be ginners in the synthetic studies of biblical truth or are seeking for substance of doctrine that may be believed. A. H. Strong, D. D., LL. D., president of Rochester Theological Seminary, has kindly given me liberty to quote freely from his latest the sev enth, edition of Systematic Theology. Much help has been derived from the work of Prof. Sam uel Harris, D. D., LL. D., entitled God the Creator and Lord of All, and from representatives of vari ous schools of thought. But the limits of this book do not allow an extended list of authors consulted, and to whom indebtedness is acknowledged.

Excerpt from The Christian Doctrine of Justification and Reconciliation There is reason to believe that an English translation of Ritschl'8 greatest work is not inopportune at the present moment The attention paid in Britain to this theologian's doctrinal system has been steadily deepening for some years. Such works as Denney's Studies in Theology, Orr's The llitschlian Theology and the Evangelical Faith, and Game's The Ritschlian Theology, are enough to prove how profound is the interest felt here in the methods and conclusions of a movement which has had so remarkable an influence in Germany. Of this movement the primary source was Ritschl's monumental work, The Christian Doctrine of Justification and Reconciliation (1870-1874). Not since Schleiermacher published his Christliche Glaube in 1821 has any dogmatic treatise left its mark so deeply upon theological thought in Germany and throughout the world. Schleiermacher's masterpiece, unfortunately, is inaccessible to the English reader; and it was felt that were the magnum opus of his most notable successor also to remain untranslated, the loss to English students of theology would be doubly regrettable. The first volume of the German work, containing the history of the doctrine, was published in an English rendering as far back as 1872. The third volume, of which a translation is now furnished for the first time, has the supreme interest of presenting us with Ritschl's own theological system.

Excerpt from The Christian Doctrine of Faith This is not a theological treatise on the one hand, nor on the other is it a volume of sermons. Like its predecessor, the volume on Prayer, it has a distinct office to fulfil, an office that in the judgment of the editor is of immense importance. For between the professor's lecture-room and the preacher's study there is a great gulf fixed. In the lecture-room the lectures on systematic theology are laboriously entered into notebooks, which are useful for the exit examinations. But when the active work of the ministry begins, and so many sermons have to be prepared every week, the cupboard into which those notebooks have been stowed away is left undisturbed. The preacher begins to Spin his sermons out of his own brains, with the assistance of such popular books as happen to be at his hand.

Excerpt from Biblical Theology of the Old Testament Of late Systematic Theology has been somewhat neglected in certain parts of the Protestant world, and indeed has fallen into disrepute, more stress being laid upon the results of Biblical Theology. We are told that in Systematic Theology we have the deduc tions and speculations of men while in Biblical The ology we have the pure teaching of the Word of God. But let us not forget that the man who takes up the Bible now without reference to what has been done towards its elucidation in the past, and without being guided by the development of doctrine, is exactly as foolish as the man who would undertake to take up any branch of science without regard to what has been done before.

Excerpt from Manual of Systematic Theology, and Christian Ethics In this treatise, all the doctrines of the Christian religion are supposed to be drawn from the Scriptures, and set forth in their logical order, so that they may stand before the mind as a system of religious truth. Yet many facts here put together are revealed but in part, and therefore their agreement with one another can be seen but in part. A perfect system pre supposes perfect knowledge in him who describes it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
