System Of Christian Theology (1890)

The System of Christian Theology is a comprehensive and scholarly work by Henry Boynton Smith, originally published in 1890. This book is an in-depth exploration of Christian theology, covering topics such as the nature of God, the Trinity, the incarnation of Christ, the atonement, and the work of the Holy Spirit. Smith's approach to theology is both philosophical and historical, drawing on the insights of various Christian thinkers throughout history. He engages with the views of theologians such as Augustine, Aquinas, Calvin, and Schleiermacher, among others, and offers his own interpretations and critiques of their ideas. The book is organized into four main sections: the doctrine of God, the doctrine of the person of Christ, the doctrine of salvation, and the doctrine of the church and the sacraments. Each section is further subdivided into chapters that explore specific aspects of the topic at hand. Throughout the book, Smith emphasizes the importance of a systematic approach to theology, arguing that a coherent and comprehensive understanding of Christian doctrine is necessary for a faithful and meaningful Christian life. At the same time, he acknowledges the limitations of human understanding and the need for humility in the face of the mysteries of faith. Overall, the System of Christian Theology is a rigorous and thought-provoking work that will be of interest to scholars, theologians, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of Christian doctrine.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
