Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Faith of the Gospel: A Manual of Christian Doctrine This history of the origin of the present book will explain its form. While attempting to go with fair thoroughness into the various questions raised, it does not profess to deal with them exhaustively, as a book written for the learned would. It assumes little in the reader besides an average English education and a devout mind. Recondite theological language is avoided. Terms are explained as they occur. It is hoped, therefore, that'the book may prove useful, not only to Teachers of the Divine Mysteries at the beginning of their studies, but to many private Chris tians also, who wish to have an intelligent grasp of their faith.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Christian Doctrine of God Christianity is a doctrine Of God and a life in God. It is scarcely more; for its great peculiarity is its proclamation Of a work of gracious help from God to man, performed because God is what he is, and all its substance beyond this consists in the unfolding Of what it means, in experience and thought, that God is such a Being as Jesus Christ makes known. Christianity is religion with such a God, and Christian theology is the doctrine of such a God, and of that which follows from his being.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This clear and concise text helps readers grasp the doctrines of the Christian faith considered basic from the earliest days of Christianity.

Heine primarily uses the classical Christian doctrines of the Nicene Creed to guide students into the essentials of the faith.

Download or read book The Christian Doctrine of Salvation Classic Reprint written by George Barker Stevens and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-19 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Christian Doctrine of Salvation The aim of the present work is to present a biblical, historical, and constructive discussion of the Christian doctrine of salvation. The theme has been regarded and treated primarily as a subject of investigation. I have accordingly approached it from the historical side, and have aimed to state the problems to be considered and to define my positions respecting them in an historical and inductive method. I have tried to judge the various Opinions reviewed and to test my own by means of the fundamental Christian concepts of God and of man. The treatment has been made as objective as possible. It has been my aim to describe and estimate conflicting theories with fairness. My own judgments, with the reasons for them, have been frankly given. It is not to be expected, of course, that they will commend them selves to the acceptance of all readers, but I trust that those who may dissent from them may still find some thing in the book by which they may be interested or instructed. The present discussion presupposes a general know ledge Of Biblical Theology and of the History Of Christian Doctrine, such as is furnished by the relevant sections Of my Theology of the New Testament and Professor Fisher's History of Christian Doctrine, earlier volumes of the International Theological Library.

Download or read book The Christian Doctrine of Reconciliation Classic Reprint written by James Denney and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Christian Doctrine of Reconciliation Reconciliation is a term of wide scope and various applica tion, and it is hardly possible to conceive a life or a religion which should dispense with it. There is always some kind Of strain or tension between man and his environment, and man has always an interest in overcoming the strain, in re solving the discord in his situation into a harmony, in getting the environment to be his ally rather than his adversary. The process by which his end is attained may be described 'as one of reconciliation, but whether the reconciliation is adequate depends on whether his conception Of the environ ment is equal to the truth. Men may be very dimly and imperfectly conscious of the nature Of the strain which dis quiets their life, and may seek to Overcome it in blind and insufficient ways. They may interpret it as physical in its origin when it is really ethical, or as the misapprehension of a moral order when it is really antagonism to a personal God, and in either case the reconciliation they seek will fail to give the peace of which they are in quest. Nevertheless, reconciliation and nothing else is what they want, and its place in religion is central and vital.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outlines of Christian Doctrine The present short treatise was at first planned in the form of a Commentary upon the Thirty-Nine Articles. As the work proceeded the author was led to think that a sketch of the main doctrines of the Faith might be more generally useful, which, while always keeping in view the great historic Confession of the Church of which he thanks God he is a son and presbyter, should omit some topics contained in it and deal with others in a way somewhat different from that of a commentary. The work makes not the least pretension either to originality or to fulness. It will have well served its purpose if in any degree it can stimulate its readers to personal study, and suggest lines for work and thought. The author humbly trusts that what he has written has been written "at the foot of the Cross." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

I have spared no pains to secure accuracy of fact, but am very conscious, in other respects, of the limitations of this volume; some of these are due to the necessary limits of space, though far more to the demands the subject makes on both theological learning and Christian experience.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Re-Statements of Christian Doctrine: In Twenty-Five Sermons Although hardly any two of these sermons were written with reference to each other, and not one of them with any thought of publication, a certain plan will be observed in their arrangement. I intended, at first, to style the volume by what is now only the run ning title, The Re-adjustment of Faith but the un willingness to be thought to claim success in a'work in which I am only an humble striver, induced me to sur render the name. A chief effort of my whole ministry has been to meet, not the scholastic, but the practical and spiritual difficulties which, in our day, make faith in Christianity so hard to thousands of the more thoughtful and educated class. My Object has steadily been to awaken spiritual apprehension without wound ing intellectual laws; and with a profound respect for the understanding, to keep it in its due subordination to still higher faculties of the soul.

Download or read book The Christian Faith Personally Given in a System of Doctrine Classic Reprint written by Olin Alfred Curtis and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-15 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Christian Faith: Personally Given in a System of Doctrine Neither in claim nor in spirit is this book dogmatic. As indicated in several ways by the book itself, there is no attempt to speak the final word, no aim to be, or to become, the recognized authority of any church, or of any school, or of any man. After years of preparatory waiting, I have, I believe, caught an important vision of the Christian Faith as an organic Whole of doctrine, and I am eager to help other men to catch the same Visio'n. In reading the book, many peculiarities of View and method will be discovered; but the main clue to all can be found in one thing, namely, in the junction of the two ideas, personal responsibility and racial solidarity. Every man is a responsible moral person; but no man is complete in himself - he 15 made to be a fragment of an entire race. Instead of being content with one of these ideas, I use them both ln junction, and with equally serious emphasis. In this peculiar junction there may be, I sometimes hope, a fair mediation between Arminianism and Calvinism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Doctrine of the Ages The substance of this book, in all of its essen tial features, was carefully read by the late Dr. A. J. Gordon, in manuscript. He urged its immediate publication, and consented to write an introduction to its pages. Before the closing chapters were completed he had passed away from his useful life. On this account his name has no connection with the book, further than this grateful acknowledgment of his encouraging words. The learned Dr. Harnack, in his History of Dogma, when speaking of the Christian's faith in God as the father of Jesus Christ, makes the following comprehensive statement So far as this God is believed to be the omnipotent Lord of heaven and earth, the Christian religion includes a knowledge of God, of the world, and of the purpose of created things. These three spheres, then, are the proper objects of our contemplation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Sidelights on Christian Doctrine Classic Reprint written by James Orr and published by . This book was released on 2015-09-27 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sidelights on Christian Doctrine The Studies in this Volume are based upon Addresses on Christian Doctrine given at various Conferences and Bible Schools in America. This may explain the semi-popular character of the exposition, and some peculiarities in the style, which it has not been thought necessary to remove. Perhaps the less formal nature of the Studies will adapt them better to the needs of those whom technical works on theology might repel. The treatment makes no pretence at exhaustiveness, but probably it will be found that few points of real importance in theological study are left untouched. The work may therefore serve as an introduction to more elaborate handbooks on the Christian doctrines. It may serve to show what, in substance, theology is, to create an interest in its questions, and to remove some misconceptions as to its nature, necessity, and scope. In some degree, it may even be a contribution to the right apprehension of the Christian truth itself. These are days in which theology is at a discount. The cry is loud for "reconstruction" of Christian doctrines; for re-statement in terms of living thought. This book has little to offer in the way of novelties.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christian Doctrine: A Series of Discourses But I had never attempted to deliver a series of discourses expounding, in an orderly and systematic manner, all the principal doctrines of the Christian Faith. In the sermons which are collected in this volume I have, at last, made the attempt. They have been delivered during the last twelve months. When I had written them, I found that several of them were so long that they would impose an undue strain on the attention of the congregation, and I therefore, in one or two cases, gave a brief summary of an extended argument, and, in other cases, omitted a whole section. But so far from finding that a congregation will not 'stand doctrinal sermons, my experience is that such sermons, if of moderate length, are of great interest to large numbers of Christian people.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gospel of Life: Thoughts Introductory to the Study of Christian Doctrine In this respect we may justly lay stress on the personal effort to grow better and on the confident expectation of general progress, in spite of numberless disappointments and delays. SO through this unconquerable persistence Of effort, failure becomes 'a triumph's evidence for the 'fulness Of the days.' In other words we walk by faith in the face Of riddles which remain to the last unanswered. Nor is there any ground for discontent at this condition of life. It not unfrequently happens that the clear perception that a difficulty is at present irremovable suggests a reasonable hope Of fuller light hereafter. And though it may bel j.
