A Compendium Christian Theology, Vol. 2 by William Burt Pope Pdf
Excerpt from A Compendium Christian Theology, Vol. 2: Being Analytical Outlines of a Course of Theological Study, Biblical, Dogmatic, Historical The discussion of Providence has exhibited Sin, the destruction of which was the object of the redeeming counsel, as contemplated from eternity in connection with the origin, development, and destiny of mankind. It is therefore as a doctrine interwoven with all the subsequent stages of theology, being in fact one centre from which the whole may be viewed. But it has its own range of independent topics, making it a distinct study. We ascend first to the mystery of its Origin, in the universe and on earth, this leading of necessity to the consideration of its Nature in itself and of the Theories devised to account for it; then follows the relation between Sin and Redemption, or rather the mitigating effect that the coming redemption throws back upon the evolution of evil; thus introducing, finally, its universality in mankind, or Original Sin, the sin adhering to the race as such and to every member of it naturally born into the world. It is useful to note these terms, though they are not much used in English theology. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
