9780282401160: An Examination of the a Priori Principles Assumed by Dr. Charles Hodge in His Treatise on Systematic Theology

Synopsis

This book is an examination of the a priori principles that Protestant theologian Charles Hodge asserts are necessary to support his doctrines. It argues that these principles - which hold that the human mind possesses certain innate truths not derived from experience - are incompatible with the teachings of the Bible. The author explores the historical and philosophical context of Hodge's ideas, demonstrating how they evolved from earlier Protestant thought. The book also examines the implications of these principles, showing how they undermine the credibility of scripture and lead to contradictions in Protestant theology. The author concludes that Protestantism, by relying on private judgment and rejecting the authority of the church, has inevitably led to a loss of faith and a rise in skepticism and rationalism. This book provides a valuable perspective on the foundations of Protestant theology and its implications for modern religious thought.
