Excerpt from Christian Dogmatics The need of a comprehensive treatise on Christian doctrine of a scientific character is admitted on all hands. Even the best productions of foreign theologians do not seem altogether suitable as manuals for our theological students. Outlines by British writers of various schools are for the most part too meagre, and in some instances their usefulness is impaired by want of proportion in the treatment of the several doc trines of the system. The attempt has been made in the present work to give a systematic presentation in methodical order of all the leading doctrines of the Christian faith. The standpoint is that of. A moderate Calvinism. The history of dogmas has been introduced only in so far as is necessary for the clear and intelligible statement of the positive doctrine. In like manner, no attempt has been made to develop in detail the biblical element, except in so far as this is needed to supply the foundation for the dogmas accepted and formu lated by the Church. Special attention has been given to the preparation of the lists of literature placed at the head of the several sections. Only such treatises are mentioned as have been found distinctly helpful in the discussion of the particular subject of the section, and references are made to comprehensive and general works on dogmatics only when the treatment in them of the subject dealt with is more or less remarkable for fulness or suggestiveness.
