Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Origin and Development of the Nicene Theology: With Some Reference to the Ritschlian View of Theology and History of Doctrine
In matters of historic detail, of literary research, of brilliant suggestion, every student of the early Church must acknowledge the greatest indebtedness to Harnack and men of his school. But it is this very ability and fruitfulness of investigation, which, put in the service of a defective theory of Christian ity and its doctrines, force upon those who reject such a theory the somewhat ungracious task of opposing so frequently men from whom they have learned so much. The systematic, but radical views of Ritschl on revelation, the character of Christ as found in the Scriptures, and the rights of reason in theology, so color all the doctrinal thinking of the school that, at every turn in the historical or logical movement of religious thought, it becomes necessary for men of other schools to plant a caveat.
