Synopsis
Excerpt from History of Dogma, Vol. 1: Library Adolph Harnack, Ordinary Prof. Of Church History in the University, and Fellow or the Royal Academy of Science, Berlin, Translated Bruce, the Third German Edition
No theological book can obtain a place in the literature of the world unless it can be read both in German and in English. These two languages combined have taken the place of Latin in the sphere of Christian Science. I am therefore greatly pleased to learn that my History of Dogma has been trans lated into English, and I offer my warmest thanks both to the translator and to the publishers.
The most difficult part of the history of dogma is the be ginning, not only because it contains the germs of all later developments, and therefore an error in observation here endangers the correctness of the whole following account, but also because the selection of the most important material from the history of primitive Christianity and biblical theology is a hard problem. Some will think that I have admitted too much into the book, others too little. Perhaps both are right. I can only reply that after repeated consideration and experiment I continue to be satisfied with my selection.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a history of Christian dogma, tracing its origins and development up to the present day. The author argues that dogma is not simply a set of doctrines that have been handed down from the apostles, but rather a product of the interaction between the Christian faith and the intellectual and cultural context in which it has existed. The book examines the different factors that have contributed to the development of dogma, including the influence of Greek philosophy, the rise of the papacy, and the Protestant Reformation. It also discusses the different ways in which dogma has been used to define and defend the Christian faith. Ultimately, the book argues that dogma is not something fixed and immutable, but rather a living and evolving tradition that continues to shape the way that Christians understand their faith. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781440039591_0
