Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Christian Religion in Its Doctrinal Expression Several reasons have led the writer to prepare the present work on theology. He has been a teacher of the subject during the past eighteen years. His own method and standpoint in dealing with truth have, as a natural consequence, taken definite form. Theology is like any other science in the fact that if it is alive, it grows. This does not mean that it goes beyond Christ and the New Testament. It means, rather, that these are provocative of endless growth. The object of religion does not grow, but the subject never attains a final and static stage in the present life. Truth does not change, but we apprehend truth with increasing clearness. Down to the middle of the nineteenth century, after Luther's age, theology was engaged chiefly with the issues growing out of the Reformation. The method of theology was that derived from a past age. Theologies were comprehensive, more or less philosophical and abstract treatises. There was a very commendable desire to systematize the truths of Christianity. But too often the biblical method and aim were sacrificed in the interest of a "school" of theology or a philosophical principle. For example, Arminianism overlooked certain essential truths about God in its strong championship of human freedom. As against it, Calvinism ran to extremes in some of its conclusions in its very earnest desire to safeguard the truth of God's sovereignty. We are learning to discard both names and to adhere more closely than either to the Scriptures, while retaining the truth in both systems. During the nineteenth century the whole world of human thought underwent a remarkable revolution. In physical science a new method and ideal arose. In the social and economic sphere a new sociology and political economy took shape. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dynamic of Christianity: A Study of the Vital and Permanent Element in the Christian Religion It may be answered that when Macaulay wrote his Edinburgh Review essay on Von Rauke's History of the Popes, from which I have quoted, a new era had been ushered in by Coleridge and Maurice, torch-bearers of the higher and richer thought of Germany. This is true, and with them should be num bered Thomas Erskine; while Wordsworth's parallel in uence in the realm Of poetry, and Carlyle's in the field of general literature, but especially of the ethical interpretation of history, is not to be overlooked. Maurice, the near spiritual kinsman of both Coleridge and Erskine, had but just published his King dom of Christ, it appeared in 1838.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Christian Doctrine of God That the kingdom of God or of heaven proclaimed by Jesus is a fellowship of men, appears not only from the natural import of the word kingdom, but from such expressions as, least in the kingdom, great in the kingdom (matt. V. 19, xviii. Of such is the kingdom, he shall in no wise enter therein (mark x. I4, I etc. That in it the highest morality is obeyed, is clear from the Sermon on the Mount (matt. V. - vii. Luke Vi. 20 - 42) and the whole tenor of our Lord's teaching; and that it is done as the will of God, appears from the phrase kingdom, which often means reign, of its being joined in the Lord's Prayer with the doing of His will (matt. Vi. And from the many parables in which God is represented as a King, a Master, a Householder, a Shepherd, a Father, a Judge (matt. Xx. 1, xxii. 2, XXV. I4, 34; Luke xv. 4, II, xvii. 7, Finally, it is plain that it includes the highest blessedness since it is to be sought as the chief good (matt. Vi. 33 Luke xii. 32) is com pared to a treasure, or pearl of great price (matt. Xiii. 44 and is the final reward of the righteous (matt. Xiii. 43, xxv.

Download or read book A Christian Theology on Man s Need of Redemption God s Redemptive Purpose and Christ s Redemptive Work written by Dr. John Thomas Wylie and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2019-10-31 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication, “A Christian Theology On Man’s Need Of Redemption, God’s Redemptive Purpose And Christ’s Redemptive Work,” is proposed to cover commonly three points in the field of Christian doctrine. I understand the treatment is insufficient. The idea of the subject blocks sufficiency. Who could give a sufficient treatment to such a subject? There are radical and quick changes occurring in the field of theology. One endeavors the supposition that the vast majority of the progressions are currently the correct way. Men are turning their contemplations toward the need and reality of revelation, of man’s wrongdoing (sin) and powerlessness of both the individual and social disappointment of man without God, of the sufficiency of God’s grace for man’s need, and of the centrality of Jesus Christ and his saving work for mankind’s history. The matter of Christian religious theology is to analyze and set out as exactly as possible, precisely as could be allowed; how God saves men in this truly evil world, not to hypothesize about what God would have done in an entirely different sort of world. It ought to be recalled that theology is concerned, first, last and constantly, with the character of God. Theology is concerned about nothing else other than to express how God saves men in an evil world. Man does not live by bread alone. It is increasingly essential that man have something to live for than that he have something to live on; and existence without God isn’t true life. Present day man needs to confront that reality and acknowledge it. No mention of the work of the “Holy Spirit,” is mentioned for it is covered in a previous publication, entitled: “The Holy Spirit.” Finally, Reverend Dr. Wylie is devoted to publishing books that spread the gospel of Jesus Christ, helping Christians to live as per that gospel, advance restoration, revival in the church, give testimony regarding Jesus Christ, Christian Unity and Fellowship in Christian Love.

Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of Christian Doctrine The usefulness Of theology is as little Open to dispute as its legitimacy. It is necessary, not to ordinary Christians, but to Christian teachers and advocates. It is neither necessary nor possible that every one should be a lawyer, doctor, engineer; but every one who aspires to one of these professions must have more than the empirical knowledge which suffices for ordinary life. Times like ours are the last in which Christian teachers can afford to dispense with accurate and complete knowledge.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Demonstration of the Truth of the Christian ReligionAbundant as are the materials for the construction of such an irrefragable argument, yet additional evidence is still ac cumulating. While the progress of physical science dis closes the works of the God of nature, it illustrates also the truth of his word. The very objections of ignorance become the arguments of knowledge. And, as superstition is shaken, true religion is confirmed. And the'labours of all the ene mies of the truth, in seeking to confound Christianity with its corruptions, or to subvert them together, is only the clear ing away of the rubbish which has too long obscured the rock on which the church of Christ is built; and that man must know but little of the spirit of the times, and be ill-instructed unto the kingdom of Heaven, who, in seeking to illustrate the truth of the gospel, could not readily bring forth out of his treasure things new as well as old.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Primer of the Christian Religion: Based on the Teaching of Jesus, Its Founder and Living Lord To that voice the apostles gave heed, and regarded no other. To that voice they also have given heed who, in the long and weary struggle to realize the kingdom of heaven on the earth, have spoken words and done deeds that have scattered new light and given fresh courage to the hearts of men. To that divine voice it is our duty to listen, and then boldly to live out and to speak out what we have heard. No man or body of men can listen to Jesus for us; we must listen for ourselves. No council of the dead Past or of the Present has a right to come between us and Jesus Christ and say that it has listened for us, and that thus or thus must we believe. We owe it to Jesus that no voices of men, howsoever holy and learned, shall be allowed to drown or in the slightest degree confuse that clear voice of His, which will one day be heard in judgment as it is now heard in accents of divine grace.
