Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Some Thoughts on the Scope of Theology and Theological Education: Address Delivered Before the Pastoral Union This address does not presume to present the subject of theological education in its fullness, whether of theory or of practice; it can touch simply upon somewhat bald outlines. While this is so, time must nevertheless give place in fair measure to the need of depicting the plan as a whole, and to permit us at least to touch upon all the main branches involved. At the outset, we must anticipate the charge of pure ideality, which will doubtless be alleged. We would prevent it with the antithesis that there is no practical endeavor or experience worth the name, or deserving the least cultivation, which is not founded upon a spiritual ideal, and which is not in itself the substantiation of just that spiritual ideal. We must also briefly forestall the cry, "Oh, this will take ages and a mint of money to realize!" with another antithesis: the kingdom of God was in no hurry; it had its slow years; it had its cataclysmal changes too; its epochs of sudden transformations; the wealth of heaven has already been expended upon its progress, but it has not even yet attained its crown. It is our business to have right ideas, and then to work them out patiently and toilfully; if the aim be correct, we can be sure of the divine anticipations and the unfailing help. While we therefore hold that ideality affords the true pattern, let it be observed that there is no purpose to begin with the goal and suddenly to round up the plan, but to make our start only from what is available and within reach. Let us not be misrepresented. We are not grasping after the future by any other means than are at hand. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
