Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christian Thought Monthly: August, 1883 I. To this question we answer: Because it is a simple matter of fact that Christianity first forced these truths effectually upon the world's attention and the world's acceptance by means of its supernatural claims and its supernatural history, and caused them to be largely accepted as principles of'the world's philosophy which now commend themselves to man's reason and shine by their own light. In defending itself, Christianity has been forced to defend these truths on grounds of reason against the attacks of subtle and powerful antagonists, and sharply and still more sharply to define them, under the unsparing scrutiny of keen sighted critics. In these attacks and defences these truths have been brought into every conceivable relation to other truths and theories of science and religion. When the discussions have seemed to be purely theological, they have very often, if not more frequently, turned upon some principle of this under lying philosophy. It does not follow because Christianity has inwrought certain 'truths into the world's philosophy, that it has taught them by authority or enforced them by miracle or testimony. This inference is excluded by the undisputed fact that in its use of miracle and testimony Christianity assumes these principles to be accepted and to be necessary in order to give force or significance to m1racle or history, and that again and again it has rested its cause on grounds of phildsophy alone. Much is said in these days of the hindrance which Christian theology has been to science and philosophy. Much might be said of the stimulus and aid which it has given to both in a moral and intellectual way. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The 'lower Criticism is simply the criticism of the text of the Bible. The Higher' determines whether there is any text to criticize, and if so, whether it is from the author whose name it bears, or is a mass of frag ments, written by half a dozen different men, at different times, unknown to mankind, and imposed upon the Church by ignorant editors and compilers under a false title.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Embracing the viewpoints of Catholic, Protestant, or Orthodox thinkers, of conservatives, liberals, radicals, and agnostics, Christianity today is anything but monolithic or univocal. In The Oxford Companion to Christian Thought, general editor Adrian Hastings has tried to capture a sense of the great diversity of opinion that swirls about under the heading of Christian thought. Indeed, the 260 contributors, who hail from twenty countries, represent as wide a range of perspectives as possible.Here is a comprehensive and authoritative (though not dogmatic) overview of the full spectrum of Christian thinking. Within its 600 alphabetically arranged entries, readers will find lengthy survey articles on the history of Christian thought, on national and regional traditions, and on various denominations, from Anglican to Unitarian. There is ample coverage of Eastern thought as well, examining the Christian tradition in China, Japan, India, and Africa. The contributors examine major theological topics such as resurrection, the Eucharist, and grace as well as controversial issues such as homosexuality and abortion. In addition, short entries illuminate symbols such as water and wine, and there are many profiles of leading theologians, of non-Christians who have deeply influenced Christian thinking, including Aristotle and Plato, and of literary figures such as Dante, Milton, and Tolstoy. Most articles end with a list of suggested readings and the book features a large number of cross-references.The Oxford Companion to Christian Thought is an indispensable guide to one of the central strands of Western culture. An essential volume for all Christians, it is a thoughtful gift for the holidays.
