Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Theology of Unitarians In these days of differing and changing beliefs it is not easy to define accurately the theology of any body of Christians. At the first glance this difficulty might seem to be greater in the case of Unitarians than in that of most others. Almost every other denomination expresses its belief in a formal statement of faith. To know what each believes, it might seem that one had only to read its creed. I am not sure, however, that the existence of a creed does not increase the difficulty. It introduces a complication. In these days, to learn accurately the theological position of the members of any denomination that has a creed, one must do three things. One must ascertain the real meaning of the creed; then one must learn, as best he may, the beliefs actually held by those who profess this creed; and, finally, one has to ask in what relation these beliefs and the creed stand to one another in the minds of those who profess them. In order to learn the belief of Unitarians, only one of these things has to be done. There is no common theological formula to which all subscribe. It is not necessary to compare the belief of Unitarians to-day with that held by those even of the last generation. That their theology has undergone changes in the past, and that it is still undergoing change, is a fact that Unitarians frankly and somewhat proudly accept.
