Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Knowledge of God: Objectively Considered, Being the First Part of Theology Considered as a Science of Positive Truth, Both Inductive and Deductive I have thought that it would have been a great advantage to mankind, in many ways, if it happened that each century of the past had left to us in a distinct form, its systematic view of divine truth, according to the general attainments of that age, and the general faith of the earnest Christians thereof. And such a vast and constantly accumulating store of the means of estimating the perpetual life of the church of God, and of aids to a complete understanding of the Word of Life, would be only the more important if each particular contribution to it, had come from the bosom of one or other of the grand movements of the church in each particular age, and from some hand which God had used therein. It has, in general, happened far otherwise. From the bosom of most of the Christian centuries, nothing of the sort I have intimated has reached us, and probably nothing of that sort existed in those centuries. From many other centuries, what has come down to us, so far from being either systematic or complete, was in its very nature fragmentary and partial. And what we have really received from all the past, out of the bosom of orthodox Christianity, in the way of complete and systematic treatment of the whole knowledge of God unto salvation - great as is its value in some respects, and numerous as have been such attempts; appears to me to leave theology as a pure science of positive truth, in the disordered condition of many inferior sciences, and more really than they, needing to be restated in a form, as far as possible general, but at the same time simple, natural, and complete. Perhaps the spirit of our existing Christianity amongst the orthodox, is not unsuitable to such an attempt. Perhaps the type of Christian life in the church of which I am a minister, affords some advantages toward its execution. Perhaps such an endeavor springing from the midst of that immense reaction toward the divine life in man, which signalized that church in this age - retrieving its destiny and modifying the Christianity of our times, might not be without its use - if it could survive.
