The Right Of Systematic Theology (1897)

The Right of Systematic Theology is a book written by Benjamin Breckinridge Warfield in 1897. In this book, Warfield argues for the importance and necessity of systematic theology in the Christian faith. He contends that systematic theology is not only a valid field of study, but also an essential one for understanding the nature of God and the relationship between God and humanity.Warfield begins by examining the role of reason in theology and argues that reason is a necessary tool in understanding God and his revelation. He then goes on to discuss the various methods of theology, including biblical, historical, and philosophical approaches. He argues that each of these methods is important in its own way, but that systematic theology is the most comprehensive and effective method for understanding the Christian faith.Warfield also addresses some of the criticisms that have been leveled against systematic theology, such as the charge that it is too abstract and disconnected from real-life experiences. He argues that systematic theology is not only relevant to everyday life, but also necessary for addressing practical issues and challenges faced by Christians.Overall, The Right of Systematic Theology is a thoughtful and persuasive defense of the importance of systematic theology in the Christian faith. It is a valuable resource for theologians, pastors, and anyone interested in deepening their understanding of God and his relationship with humanity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
