Christ and Christianity: Studies on Christology, Creeds and Confessions; Reformation Principles, Sunday Observance, Religious Freedom, and Christian Union

Excerpt from Christ and Christianity: Studies on Christology, Creeds and Confessions; Reformation Principles, Sunday Observance, Religious Freedom, and Christian Union
Christian Theology is the science of the Christian religion, or the knowledge of God, of man, and of their mutual relation under its threefold aspect of original union, subsequent separation by sin, and reunion or reconciliation by Jesus Christ the God-Man and Saviour of mankind. It is the noblest of sciences. It surpasses other sciences in proportion as the Bible which is its text-book, excels other books, and as religion which is its object, towers above the secular concerns of man. It treats of the deepest problems which can challenge the attention of an immortal mind. The boundless wealth of God's revelation, of God's word, of God's plan of salvation, the spiritual experience of God's people in all ages, creation, sin and redemption, life, death and eternity, things past, things present and things to come, all that can purify, ennoble, adorn and perfect human character in this world, the mysteries of the world to come with its endless issues of bliss or woe, the origin, progress and triumph of Christ's kingdom till the final consummation, when "God shall be all in all" - these are the sublime themes of theology, ever fresh and ever new, and carrying in themselves their own best reward.
