The Christian Faith (ALABAMA)

Plot

Excerpt from The Christian Faith: Personally Given in a System of DoctrineNeither in claim nor in spirit is this book dogmatic. As indicated in several ways by the book itself, there is no attempt to speak the final word, no aim to be, or to become, the recognized authority of any church, or of any school, or of any man. After years of preparatory waiting, I have, I believe, caught an important vision of the Christian Faith as an organic Whole of doctrine, and I am eager to help other men to catch the same Visio'n.In reading the book, many peculiarities of View and method will be discovered; but the main clue to all can be found in one thing, namely, in the junction of the two ideas, personal responsibility and racial solidarity. Every man is a responsible moral person; but no man is complete in himself - he 15 made to be a fragment of an entire race. Instead of being content with one of these ideas, I use them both ln junction, and with equally serious emphasis. In this peculiar junction there may be, I sometimes hope, a fair mediation between Arminianism and Calvinism.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
