Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Discussions in History and Theology The Essays which are collected in this volume, with a few exceptions, may be classified under three heads. The first group, beginning with the second Essay, comprises Papers which relate to the history, polity and dogmas of the Roman Catholic Church. The Church of Rome has lately undergone two changes of great moment. The principality which the Pontiffs had ruled for a thousand years, has fallen from their grasp and been absorbed in the new kingdom of Italy; and the infallibility and supreme "power of jurisdiction" of the Pope have been defined by conciliar decree. These new aspects of the Roman Catholic system, in their historical relations, and in their bearings on religion and civil society, are among the topics here considered. How the genius and religion of ancient Rome reappear in characteristic features of Latin Christianity, is the subject of one of the Discussions in this series. The second group of Essays relates to New England theology. Jonathan Edwards was the pioneer in a movement which was carried forward by a succession of theological leaders after him, and involved important modifications in the philosophy of Calvinism.
