Discover how evangelical Protestant dogmatics centers faith in the Gospel and personal trust, not just theory.
This introduction presents a practical, faith-centered approach to Protestant theology. It emphasizes the Word of God as a living revelation in Jesus Christ and explains how religious authority arises from inner conviction and the transforming power of grace, rather than external proofs alone. The text contrasts traditional apologetics with a Protestant method that places the moral and spiritual experience of believers at the heart of theological understanding.
Readers will encounter a clear articulation of why belief is a personal decision, how faith authenticates truth, and why dogmatics should nurture life and conduct as much as doctrine. The work argues for a positive, progressive program aligned with the Gospel and the needs of the church in every generation.
Ideal for readers of theology, church history, and readers seeking a principled, action-oriented approach to Protestant doctrine.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces Protestant dogmatics by examining the origin, nature, and function of dogma within Protestantism. The author traces the evolution of the term 'dogma' from its classical Greek roots through its usage in the Bible and in church history, arguing that the traditional understanding of dogma as an infallible belief decreed by an authoritative church is incompatible with the Protestant principle of religious liberty. The author proposes a new definition of dogma as the scientific expression of the faith of the Protestant church at a given time, emphasizing the role of dogma in the spiritual welfare of the church, its importance for apologetics and polemics, and its provisional and revisable nature.
