An Theology of Christian Theology: Being Analytical Outlines of a Course of Theological Study, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint)

Theology is the science of God and Divine General things, based upon the revelation made to mankind in tion. Jesus Christ, and variously systematised within the Christian Church. All that belongs to the preliminaries of our study may be dis tributed under the several heads suggested by this definition, which is so framed as to include, first, Theology proper; secondly, its limitation to the relations between God and mankind; thirdly, its essential connection with Christ; fourthly, its characteristics as developed under various influences within the Christian Church; and lastly, its title to the name of a science. The introductory remarks which will be made on these several topics have for their object simply to prepare the mind of the student for what lies before him ;and to give a few hints which will all afterwards be expanded in due course. THEOLOGY. Theology God is the source and the subject and the end of theology. The stricter and earlier use of the word limited it to the doctrine of the Triune God and His attributes. But in modern usage it includes the whole compass of the science of Religion, or the relations of all things to God. This gives it its unity and dignity and sanctity.
