Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Fundamental Christian Faith: The Origin, History, and Interpretation of the Apostles´ and Nicene Creeds For some years the author has been engaged in teaching Symbolics in the Union Theological Seminary. He has made a careful study of all the Symbols of the Christian Church by the use of the best methods of Historical Criticism and Interpretation. There are several theological tendencies in these times. There is the reactionary tendency, which still insists upon the whole doctrine of the Confessions of Faith of the seventeenth century, at the cost of the perpetuation of theological warfare within the Church as well as without. There is the radical tendency, which would do away with all credal statements, and construct an eclectic, syncretistic theology out of a comparative study of all Religions and in the form of recent undigested philosophical speculations. These would give us a merely speculative theology, with no other authority to sustain it than the private opinions of this or that writer or his school of thought, and so set us adrift on a sea of boundless speculation. There is also the wholesome Irenic tendency which seeks to reunite the separated Churches on the basis of the fundamental principles of Historical Christianity, without intruding upon denominational preferences, or private opinion in other matters.
