Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Faith of a Modern Christian Claims are admitted by ourselves or not, they are the kind of claims which the Bible makes for itself, and which Jesus and His Apostles made for the older Scriptures in their own day. The Bible, on the face of it, professes to be the record of an historical revelation of the most distinctly super natural character a Thus saith the Lord pervades it from beginning to end; it is structural in character; the Old Testament fulfils itself in the New law and prophets.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christianity and Evolution: Modern Problems of the Faith Christian Faith. Although, therefore, a general agreement will be found to exist throughout the series, one or two of the writers have made no secret of their holding a much more limited View of the scope and character of Evolution than that represented by the rest. Should exception be taken to this circumstance, we would respectfully submit, that in the settlement of great vital questions it must tend in a much higher degree to healthy, thorough, and impartial discussion when debaters are left perfectly free in every thing save the essentials of the point at issue. In the hope that the following pages may be found helpful by many whose spirits are shadowed by the scepticism of the age, we now commit them.

Download or read book The Faith of a Modern Protestant Classic Reprint written by Wilhelm Bousset and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Faith of a Modern Protestant In every religion belief in God, or to express it from a more universal point of view, belief in the gods, in the Godhead, is the central idea. Where this is not so, as in the exceptional case of the earliest form of Buddhism, we have to deal with an attenuated religion, permeated with a philosophic conception of the world. Our object in this little book is to try to define, by comparison, the peculiar position and the characteristic qualities of our belief - that is to say, of the Christian belief in God - so far as it concerns the religious life of mankind, and thus to comprehend the essential character of the Christian religion. At the same time we must put the question as to the nature of the Christian belief in God. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Christian Faith Under Modern Searchlights There is, however, I am confident, a large class of men in and out of the Church who would welcome a clear statement of the case of Christianity in the light of current debate and to men Of this class I have great pleasure in com mending the present volume. The merit of these lectures consists largely in the fact that the author takes a comprehensive survey Of the latest phases of anti-christian thought, that he has a firm hold upon the cen tral and vital questions involved in the great debate, and that he does not allow himself to be hampered by dealing needlessly with side issues. He is keen and penetrating in his criticism of those who belittle the evidence in support of re vealed religion, and generous, sometimes to a fault, in his appreciation of writers with whose dominant ideas he has but scant sympathy. Of his learning and logical acumen there is no doubt and his fairness in controversy is above reproach. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Ancient Faith in Modern Light Classic Reprint written by T. Vincent Tymms and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ancient Faith in Modern Light The following Essays, by members of a society of ministers accustomed to meet for free and brotherly conference, are intended to reassert, from a modern point of view, great fundamental verities of the Christian Faith, and to indicate some of their varied applications. To distinguish between the permanent and the transient in Religion is one of the gravest and hardest tasks of the theologian. In every age there is a "removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that have been made, that those things which are not shaken may remain." Too often, indeed, in the eager desire for progress, the distinction is missed; and in the criticism of human theories and systems the Divine thought that underlies them is left out of sight. To avoid this error has been the great aim of the Essayists, whose long experience as Christian teachers, with much close observation of the thoughts and tendencies of the time, has led them to cling with ever-increasing confidence to the truths which are unchanging and essential.

Download or read book The Christian Faith written by Friedrich Schleiermacher and published by Burns & Oates. This book was released on 1928 with total page 780 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the opinion of competent thinkers the Christian Faith of Schleiermacher is, with the exception of Calvin's Institutes, the most important work covering the whole field of doctrine to which Protestant theology can point. To say this is not necessarily to adopt either his fundamental principles or the detailed conclusions to which these principles have guided him. On all such matters a nearly unbroken controversy has long prevailed. Indeed, at the moment a formidable attack is being delivered upon his main positions by a new and active school of thought in Germany. But, whether for acceptance or rejection, it is necessary for serious students to know what Schleiermacher has to say."--Editors' preface, page [v]

This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Grounds of Christian Belief IN this little volume I have sought to set forth the foundations and meaning of the Christian Faith in a way that will com mend itself to men and women of the present day. A little book on simple lines will serve a useful purpose if it meets some of the difficulties of those who, though keenly interested in the things that count, might turn away sorrowing from a ponderous work. I have stated my aim in the hope that the readers for whom it is designed may not confuse my efforts with those of others whose writings they might fear would prove too exacting. It is generally recognized that a gulf exists between the knowledge of the real masters of contemporary Thought and that of readers of ordinary or even of unusual education, who, about the matters which in the last issue are alone worthy of sustained consideration, ask: Are these things so P If this little book can in any way help to bridge that gulf, it will meet an acknowledged need.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Foundations: A Statement of Christian Belief in Terms of Modern Thought The modern world is asking questions. Christianity and its traditional theology have come down to us from an age very different from our own, an age when the sun and the stars moved round the earth, when the meaning of natural law and evolution was only dimly apprehended, when the psychology of religion, the historical method and the critical study of ancient documents were yet unborn. These things touch the foundations of the old beliefs, and it is about the foundations that the world is asking.

This question the book which follows attempts to answer. While I have everywhere studied brevity, I have tried not to carry con densation so far as to interfere with clearness. The spirit in which I have sought to write is suggested by the opening quotation from William Ames, a theologian who, in the clear ness of his insight that the final test of truth is practice, suggests the genial modern philosopher with whose name his own has so many letters in common.

Download or read book The Christian System Classic Reprint written by Alexander Campbell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within The Christian System by Alexander Campbell the author has put forth his views and understanding of the Christian church and the teachings therein. Asking questions such as "What God does" and addressing in detail the topic and practice of Baptism, Campbell establishes clear lines of reasoning along with exhibiting an in depth grasp of his chosen religion and its dogma. The Christian System demonstrates Campbell's clear respect for the religious scriptures of the Christian faith. Though well written and with the points made and substantiation soundly presented, many of his observations on these, the doctrines and structure of the church of his time are not fully correspondent to modern religious views. Regardless of this minor issue, this e-book is an essential and enlightening read for those following any form of the Christian faith and a particularly eye opening volume for those without a prior basis of learning regarding Christianity, containing extensive knowledge on the religion and all that is related.

Download or read book Christianity in Its Modern Expression Classic Reprint written by George Burman Foster and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-27 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christianity in Its Modern Expression George Burman Foster was born on the second of April, 1857, and died on the twenty-second of December, 1918. Prior to his occupancy of the chair of the Philosophy of Religion in the University of Chicago he was Professor of Systematic The ology in the Divinity School of the same institution. The pres ent volume embodies his lectures on the dogmatics and ethics of the Christian religion in the form in which these were last delivered to his theological classes. The main body of the book is made up of the dictated portion of the lectures. The foot-notes contain a report, also practically verbatim, of elabora tions and extemporaneous remarks introduced by the lecturer at the indicated points of the main discussion. Former students will recognize here especially many of the brilliant and memorable sayings of this inspiring and thought-provoking teacher. Professor Poster was a remarkably sympathetic interpreter of points of view other than his own. But in his exposition of the appreciations and viewpoint of the Christian religious man, one knew that it was not a case of understanding through mere sympathetic imagination; he was speaking out of the depths of his own experience. He knew what religion was, for it was his daily life. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
