Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of Christian Theology in the Apostolic Age, Vol. 1 His very indifference to the conflicts between rival theological schools, though not without its disadvantages, assists his impartiality. He is not anxious to make it appear that the authority of St. Paul can be alleged for any modern theory of the doctrine of Justification; his only concern is to show what St. Paul himself believed. He writes the history of the theology of the early Church just as he would write the history of Greek philosophy from the age of Plato to the age of Plotinus. Three years ago, when I suggested to Messrs. Hodder and Stoughton the translation of this work, there was, I believe, no treatise on the same subject accessible to English readers. Since then, Messrs. Clark, of Edinburgh, have published a translation of Schmid´s "Biblical Theology of the New Testament," and Messrs. Hodder and Stoughton a translation of Oosterzee´s "Theology of the New Testament." Both Schmid and Oosterzee have their characteristic merits, but on the whole I am inclined to think that the theological student will find Reuss more useful than either. The province of Biblical Theology is defined by M. Reuss with sufficient clearness in his Introduction. It may be expedient, however, to point out in two or three sentences the precise distinction between the function of the dogmatic theologian and the function of the writer who professes simply to give an account of the Christian theology of the apostolic age. The dogmatic theologian has to construct a system of Christian doctrine which shall include a solution of innumerable questions which have been originated by the protracted controversies of the Church.
