Excerpt from A Brief Introduction to the Study of Theology This little book contains the substance of lectures which for some time I have been in the habit of delivering to the junior students of the Theological Seminary, Cumberland University. It seemed to me that the publication of such an outline treatment of the science of Theo logical Encyclopedia and Methodology would be not only a matter of interest, but also of advantage, to many undergraduate ministerial students. It is certainly desirable that one should have a map, either in his mind or before him, when one studies geography. It is desirable, also, when one travels upon the high seas, even of theological science, that he should be able to knowhis bearings. Perhaps this brief outline of a great subject may serve some such purpose in behalf of that large and less advanced class of theological readers and stu dents for which it is exclusively intended. Per haps, also, it may serve to enliven and intensify the impression on the part of such readers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Introduction to the Study of Theology The Introduction to the Study of Theology, which is here offered to the public, has been delivered, during the last few sessions, in the form of a course of lectures, to Students of Manchester New College. It is hoped that it will be more serviceable to them in its present shape, and that some few beyond the circle for whom it is more immediately intended will find it of use. Its object is to deal, not with the matter but with the scientific form of Theology, and to bring before the student the nature, method, and mutual relations of the various branches of theological study, so that he may see more clearly the bearing of his labours, and view the several departments of his work, not as incoherent fragments, but as constituent mem bers, each with an appropriate place, in a collective organism which embraces them all.

Excerpt from History of the Study of Theology, Vol. 1 The history of the study of Theology is Theological Encyclopaedia placed in its historical frame and order. It traces the study of Theology from the beginning until the present time. There is a study of Theology in all the higher religions. This book does not propose to go beyond the Christian religion. It is the history of the study of Christian Theology. It begins, therefore, with the study of Theology by Jesus Christ and His apostles. Christian Theology may be studied with regard either to its contents or to its forms. The study of the contents of Christian Theology in their historic mould belongs to the department of Church History, as the history of the Christian Religion, of Christian Doctrine, of Christian Institutions, and so on. Theological Encyclopaedia has to do only with the forms of Christian Theology, its methods, the organisation of the various departments of which it is composed, and its literature. The history of the study of Christian Theology is a history of its methods, its disciplines, and its literature.

Excerpt from Brief Outline of the Study of Theology: Drawn Up to Serve as the Basis of Introductory Lectures For the very extensive use which has been made of capitals and italics in the larger part of this volume, the Translator is exclusively responsible. His Object has been to assist. The reader in what Jean Paul calls the summary apprehension of the successive paragraphs; a kind of aid which the increasing productivity of the press and the pen is likely to leave us small room for despising. It only remains to be stated, that if the present work should meet with due encouragement; it may probably be followed by the appearance of translations from other writings of the same author.

Excerpt from An Introduction to Theology: Its Principles, Its Branches, Its Results, and Its Literature "What is the evidence in favour of any fundamental truth in science? It is no less than the whole science itself. What is the evidence for the rotation of the earth on its axis, or the revolution of the earth about the sun, instead of the sun about the earth? It is little less than the whole science of astronomy. All the observations ever made throughout the whole history of this science, and all the reasonings by which these observations were bound together into one consistent whole, all point to this one conclusion. The evidence derived from any single fact is small, but the effect of the whole is overwhelming... "We talk much of the right of free inquiry. We often say, 'Every man has a right to his own opinion.' But, in a question of exact science, what becomes of the right to one's own opinion?... Opinion is subjective - determined by temperament, education, and prejudice; truth is objective reality... Opinion is individual property, - truth, like all great divine blessings, is the heritage of all." - Le Conte, Religion and Science, pp. 216, 217.

Excerpt from History of the Study of Theology, Vol. 2 The palace school was founded by one of the pre decessors of Charlemagne for the training of the sons of princes and nobles. As a court school it moved about with the monarch from place to place. Charlemagne himself was trained there.1 He had some knowledge of Greek as well as Latin, and studied with the grammarian, Peter of Pisa possibly also with Paul the Deacon (t a Benedictine monk and noted Lombard scholar, who taught Greek at his court for a time, and afterwards wrote a history of the Lombards.

Everyday Christians need practical and accessible theology. In this handbook first published in 1890, Charles Octavius Boothe simply and beautifully lays out the basics of theology for common people. "Before the charge 'know thyself,'" Boothe wrote, "ought to come the far greater charge, 'know thy God.'" He brought the heights of academic theology down to everyday language, and he helps us do the same today. Plain Theology for Plain People shows that evangelicalism needs the wisdom and experience of African American Christians. Walter R. Strickland II reintroduces this forgotten masterpiece for today. Lexham Classics are beautifully typeset new editions of classic works. Each book has been carefully transcribed from the original texts, ensuring an accurate representation of the writing as the author intended it to be read.
Excerpt from Theological Encyclopaedia: A Brief Account of the Organism and Literature of Theology The student who is connected with a Will equipped school of theology may be supposed to have at command suitable means of gu'd ance in the great field of theological study. To one who is deprived of the benefit of such connection some practical suggestions may be serviceable. Even on reading a brief treatise, like that which follows, with its catalogue of theological branches and its appended book lists, some sense of bewilderment may over take him. Having in mind, then, the needs of the student who is left very largely to his own resources, we make bold to offer this list of advices: (i) In the first stage of theolog ical study a preponderant attention may prop erly be given to the Biblical branches. Every student needs to familiarize himself with a good book on Introduction to each Testa ment. Every student needs also to familiarize himself with a good book on the Biblical The ology of the Old Testament and the New Testament respectively. When the debt to these two classes of works has been paid the detailed exegetical study of some of the Biba lical books most vitally related to the Chris tian faith may follow. (2) In making choice.

Excerpt from The Scientific Study of Theology Here is nothing of such profound importance J to man as to know what his religious beliefs should be. There is no subject about which it so much behoves him to acquire, as far as he can, clear and correct ideas. Yet there is no department of knowledge which is beset with so many difficulties, in regard to which there have been so many differences of Opinion, and in the study of which even by the most thoughtful, the most learned, and the most honest of men, there is so great a liability to error. Probably at no period of history were differences of opinion respect ing the subject matter of religious belief so strongly marked as at present, and never in the Christian Church was there such great uncertainty among SO many persons with respect to one or other of the Old Articles of the Christian Faith.
