Library Of Biblical And Theological Literature Vol 3 Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Library of Biblical and Theological Literature, Vol. 3 Theological encyclopedia is a survey of all the de partments of theology, with a statement of what has been accomplished in each. It is a branch of Universal Eu cyclopaedia. It does not aim, however, to unite within theologicalen itself the substance of all that deserves to be known, cyclodw but rather to comprehend the further development of the science as conditioned by its historical character; and, also, to describe its form and extent in their inward and outward relations by correctly indicating its limits.' The position of Theological Encyclopaedia is outside the organism of theological science, since its Office is to describe that organism and Open the way into it for the student. On the other hand, how ever, it forms a part of the larger, universal organism of scierwe, and in the character of theological encyclo paedia constitutes a fragment of encyclopaedia in general. Every student should endeavour, at the outset, to gain a general idea of the range of human knowledge, not for the purpose of superficially determining every question, but that he may recognise his true place upon the orbis doctrinae.'
