SYSTEMATIC THEOLOGY:
A
COMPENDIUM AND COMMONPLACE BOOK
DESIGNED FOR THE USE OF
THEOLOGICAL STUDENTS.
BT
AUGUSTUS HOPKINS STROXG, D. D.,
PRESIDENT AND PROFESSOR OF BIBLICAL THEOLOGY IN THE
ROCHESTER THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY.
EXTRACT FROM THE
PREFACE.
This work is an enlarged and amended edition of the author's "Lectures on Theology," printed in 1876 for the use of students in the Rochester Theological Seminary. It contains nearly four times the amount of matter embraced in the former volume. The main text remains substantially the same, although important additions have been made to the treatment of the intuition of the divine existence, the classification of the attributes, the statement of the doctrine of decrees, the teaching as to race-sin and raceresponsibility, ability or inability, the ethical theory of the atonement, and the final state of the wicked. The section on the moral nature of man (conscience and will) is new; a few minor paragraphs of the older book have been omitted; and the work has been somewhat altered in arrangement.
The author's aim has been not so much the writing of a theology for theologians as the construction of a hand-book for the use of students for the ministry. The main text is intended to serve as the basis for daily recitation; the matter in smaller print is added by way of proof, explanation, or illustration. To save labor to the reader, Scripture passages referred to in the text have been printed in full in the appended notes — the Revised English Version, except where otherwise indicated, being used, and the readings of the American Committee being generally preferred. Minute references are given, under each head, to the various books which may serve as additional sources of information or suggestion. The writers referred to are not mentioned as authorities: it has been the aim, in general, to indicate not only the authors whose views are favored, but also those who best represent the views combated, in the text. The editions nsed are those found in the Library of the Seminary for whose students the text-book was originally written; fortunately these editions are, in general, the latest.
It has been thought well not only to give references to the best writers on the subjects treated, but also to introduce brief quotations from them, with a view to familiarize the reader with their general doctrinal position and to stimulate him to further reading of the works themselves. Many of these quotations are followed by explanatory or critical remarks, and in the smaller print considerable space is not unfrequently given to notes upon matters that could not be fully treated in the text, such as the history of systematic theology, the authorship of the Pentateuch, heathen systems of morality, heathen trinities, the Mosaic history of creation, the Sabbath, objections to the evolutionary theory of the origin of man, a tabular view of theories of imputation, notes on depravity, guilt, and penalty, the humanity of Christ, the Old Testament sacrifices, the doctrine of election, union with Christ, ordination to the ministry, the immortality of the soul, and the second coming of Christ.
It will be noticed that books are sometimes referred to which can hardly be called the best sources of information: in such cases the intention has often been to help the theological student to use intelligently the books he has; in other words, to enable the possessor of few books, and those not the best, to get from them all the good he can.
Attention is called to the element of Scriptural exposition that has been admitted. Under each of the chief doctrines, the main passages relied upon for proof are somewhat fully explained; while the attempt has been made to condense the results of the best modern exegesis into the few words of explanation immediately following many of the minor passages cited. Although much material for private study is thus added, the author does not regard the work, even in its present form, as more than an outline which needs to be filled in by the fuller expositions and discussions of the classroom. It is to be judged by its aim — to provide a basis and starting-point, a source of elementary knowledge and a stimulus to thought, in preparation for the oral instruction of a Theological Seminary.
The few copies of Dr. Strong's "Systematic Theology" yet remaining unsold are now offered to ministers and theological students in general. It is a volume of 780 pages, including an index of 158 pages. It comprises as much printed matter as the three volumes of the " Systematic Theology" of Dr. Hodge, and four times as much as the brief Compendinm printed by the author in 1876. The book is not sold nt bookstores, and there is no discount to any one. The undersigned is the only agent for its sale. A copy will be sent postpaid to any address on receipt of postal order for FIVE DOLLARS, by

EXTRACTS FROM LETTERS AND REVIEWS.
PROFESSOR WILLIAM G. T. SHEDD. D. D., of the Union Theological Seminary, New York City. I am rejoiced to find that the orthodox faith has obtained yet another lucid statement and powerful defense. You have made a manual superior to any that I am acquainted with in the English language; and at the same time there is far more of the fulness and sequence of a theological treatise than is usually attained in a hand-book. I have recommended it to my classes as an exceedingly helpful work for them to obtain and study.
PRESIDENT ALVAH HOVEY, D. D., of the Newton Theological Institution, Newton Centre, Mass., in the Baptist Quarterly, October, 1886. Dr. Strong is entitled to high rank among the true knights of labor. . . . We think of his Systematic Theology as uniting the best thought of the past with that of the present, the Augustinlanism of the early church with the tempered Calvinism of to-day, .... The part which treats of Christian churches and ordinances will be found entirely satisfactory to Baptists, and at least profitable, because instructive, to Christians of every name. We rejoice, therefore, in the publication of this volume, on account of the truth which it teaches as well as on account of the scholarly manner in which that truth is taught. It must fill an important place in our theological literature. Its plan is comprehensive, its analysis thorough, its learning sound, its style lucid, and its reasoning vigorous. It is positive without being acrid, and the influence of its teaching will doubtless be specially useful because it is timely.
PRESIDENT ALVAH HOVEY, D. D,
in a letter to the author.
Allow me to congratulate you upon the completion of so valuable a work It
seems to me to be a very self-consistent, scholarly, and complete work. With nearly all the views advocated in it I sympathize. Certainly there is no " Systematic Theology" which I would sooner place in the hands of a pupil, or of a son, than yours. If it speaks with slightly more confidence than I feel on a few difficult points, I am almost glad that it does; for I have no pleasure in hesitancy, and I believe that your views are not inconsistent with the Scriptures. But every one must speak and write according to the grace that is given him.
PROFESSOR E. D. MORRIS, D. D., of the Lane Theological Seminary, Cincinnati, O., in the New Turk Evanaelitt. This volume .... is much more than a hand-book or compendium, as it modestly claims to be: it is rather a broad and vigorous discussion, highly creditable as such to the author, and well worthy of a place among the standard American authorities in
this department The views on Inspiration are especially clear and convincing, and
the answers to current objections are vigorous and conclusive We find in it no
trace of sympathy with the loose, pernicious theories of the future life now advocated
in certain quarters We recommend it as not merely a handbook for the class-room,
but a scholarly, systematic, able treatise on the greatest of all themes.
REV. A. J. F. BEHRENDS, D. D.,
In the New TorH Independent.
This book is a growth Its wide reading and careful discrimination are stamped
upon every page. It is, with its full indices, an admirable handbook for the preacher's study-table, aiding the student by its ample references to push his investigations in all
directions and to tho utmost limit There is a wholesome tonic in Dr. Strong's
masterly discussion of Inspiration We thank him for his able defense of this
citadel of tho Christian faith Tho conception of the Divine law is very lofty, and
is vigorously carried through in the discussions of sin and atonement Of course,
on the doctrine of the Sacraments, the author defends the Baptist views. Thcro is no taint of the open-communion heresy in him, though his temper is admirable in its
Christian catholicity It is much easier to criticise such a book than to write it:
and we regard it as one of the very best theological manuals in existence.
PRE8IDENT E. G. ROBINSON, D. DOf Brow* University, Providence, R. I. I fear you will think me very negligent in not long ago acknowledging the receipt of your admirable volume of Theology. The truth is, I have been crowded with work, and wanted to get a little time to examine the volume before writing you, but the fates ba^e been against me. I have only found time to read your preface and to dip in here ana there. I see you are eminently orthodox and not likely to lead astray.
PRESIDENT M. B. ANDERSON, LL. D., of the Untvehsitt Of Rochester. Accept my sincere thanks for your elaborate treatise on Systematic Theology. It is a monument of Industry and learning, and a conclusive proof that no labor or thought
has been spared in the discharge of the responsible duties of your office I beg
leave to congratulate you on the completion of a course of instruction so comprehensive in range and so complete in details.
PRESIDENT G. D. B. PEPPER, D. Dof Colby University, in The Watchman. Dr. Strong has a rare power of making just such clear, ooncise, exact statements of positions as a student ought to commit to memory, and he appends to these an expansion, partly in his own language, and largely in quotations from others and references to others, as gives the requisite completeness of view That the author is preeminently an artist and an architect appears in all his productions, but nowhere else so
signally or impressively as here Solidity and strength are combined with grace
and beauty. As to substance of doctrine the work is eminently conservative The
development of the doctrine of the church is in both form and matter very satisfactory. .... Cathollo and fair toward other denominations, the entire discussion is unflinchingly Baptist. Whatever grounds one may have for dissent with some of the positions taken in this volume. it must be conceded that the work has signal merit. It is an honor alike to its author, to Rochester Theological Seminary, to the Baptist denomination, and to the Christian church. It has a future.
REV. HENRY M. DEXTER, D. D., in the Congregationalist. One great preeminence which this manual has over every other which we recall is in
the fullness and completeness of its indexes Another valuable quality of the book
is its expository element. It has some features — mechanical and other—which give it
unusual value While storing away into a large octavo page an extraordinary
quantity of matter, it is yet beautifully clear and readable. .... Of course we should be more edified by his volume if eight or ten of its pages on baptism were essentially modified, but—with that exception —we regard the book as one of very great value, and to be warmly commended to all who love thorough discussion in theology, leading in general to right conclusions.
PROFESSOR A. H. NEWMAN, D. D., of the Toronto Baptist College, in the Canadian Baptist. It would be quite within bounds to say that Dr. Strong's book is the most important
contribution ever made by a Baptist to systematic theology We will go further.
It is, everything considered, the very best work in existence on the subject of which it treats. We say this not in ignorance of the great works of the Hodges, of H B. Smith,
of Dorner, and of other leading German theologians We do not hesitate to give
the preference to Dr. Strong's book as a well-balanced, complete treatise, adapted to the
wants of the present age It should have a place in the library of every student
and of every minister who wishes to keep abreast of the theological thinking of the age.
METHODIST REVIEW,
November, 1886.
It is a remarkable fact that no one of the many very able theological writers of the Baptist denomination of the last half-century has, until now, given to it and to the church-public a comprehensive treatise on Systematic Theology, though a number of very able monographs have appeared. But this lack is now abundantly supplied by the Issue of the work the transcript of whose title is given above Now that they have this comprehensive digest of Christian doctrine, they may be said to have contributed ,
their share to our theological literature The author seems to think, and in this we
agree with him, that one who undertakes to teach should have settled convictions of his
own We may speak of the system of Christian doctrines here given, as a whole,
as thoroughly biblical and eminently evangelical. The presentation of the doctrine of sin, of atonement, of justification, and of the Christian life, are all most excellent, and with these wrought into his thinking and experience, the Christian teacher will not be
likely to lead men very far astray By the production of this volume the author
has made not only those of his own denomination, but the whole church universal, his debtors.
PROFESSOR J. C. LONG, D. D.,
of the Crozer Theolooical Seminary, in the Examiner.
Dr. Strong, as is well-known, belongs to the conservative school of theologians'
He writes with clearness, vigor, and scholarly precision. His definitions, a large part of the book, are concise, neat, und easily intelligible. His statements of the views of others are candid, and as full as the circumstances permitted them to be. The notes on the history of particular doctrines are valuable and stimulating. The citations of authorities indicate a very extensive and unusual acquaintance with the literatures especially the recent and contemporaneous literature, of the subject discussed. If Dr. Strong holds to the old in theology, it is not because he is not acquainted with the new; but because he is acquainted with it, and feels that the old is better. He disclaims writing for theologians, but there are few theologians who would not find his book exceptionally valuable and helpful.
LUTHERAN QUARTERLY REVIEW,
January, 1887.
Theological science has produced in this country very few works of the scope and merit of this solid octavo. The only previous publication of the kind that bears comparison with it is Dr. Charles Hodge's " Systematic Theology," in three volumes. While this one volume comprises as much printed matter as those three, it has the advantage of smaller and therefore more convenient bulk, having the whole work, including a copious index of 158 pages, in a single book. It has also the merit of greater conciseness and condensation. It excels In the element of freshness. It is a comprehensive survey of modern theological opinions, exhibiting prodigious and well-digested learning, marked by an uncommon faculty of analysis, logical arrangement and exact definition, and stumped
throughout by conservatism, candor and charity Publications of this kind are
very much needed just now amid the general haze in the theological world, and while this may not solve all or many of the problems that are rife, it will help students to clear thinking and scriptural knowledge, two of the foremost requisites for a sound theology.
REV. CHARLES H. SPURGEON, in the Sword and Trowel, London, November, 1886. A remarkable body of divinity which may serve for Baptists as Hodge does for
Presbyterians Wo might take exceptions [to its doctrine of the Communion, the
Atonement, and the Second Advent], but when we have said all, we still feel that this is a great work, and that men who study it will be men indeed, if the Lord blesses them. . ... If our young ministers knew more of theology — that is to say, of the Word of God — they would not be so easily duped by pretenders to knowledge, who endeavor to protect their own ignorance by crying down a thorough and systematic study of revealed truth. Wo hope Dr. Strong will enable the English reader to procure his invaluable Cyclopaedia, for It is nothing less.
PROFESSOR A. C. KENDRICK, D. D., of the University Op Rochester. I have taken occasion to dip into the volume here and there and to assure myself of its great thoroughness and completeness. I anticipate much pleasure and profit in its further examination, and I feel sure that your students, as well as theological students in general, will find it a great and invaluable aid to their theological studies. It is in every respect un elegaut book, and will be a credit, I am sure, both to our Seminary and our city. Our city press is to be congratulated on such a specimen of book-making, and I cannot doubt that you will realize in the impulse and aid which it will give to theological study a rich reward of your labor.
PRESIDENT JOSEPH ANGD8, D. D., of the Baptist Colleoe, Regent's Park, London. I am greatly indebted for a copy of your Systematic Theology, which reached me a couple of days ago. I have spent some time in looking it over — with great interest and satisfaction. It is clear, sufficiently full, and eminently suggestive. Mr. John Sheppard used to say that no author should be allowed a copyright in any book unless he added an Index. Eveu if his notion had become law, your title to proprietorship would be complete. The Indexes are capital, and will prove of great value to all students.
REV. SAMUEL G. GREEN, D. D., Secretary of the London Religious Tkact Society. I like it [ Dr. Strong's book l far better than Dr. Hodge's " Outlines." I agree with it more, and there is more to stimulate thought. Half the use of such a text-book is in stimulating those who use it to think for themselves. I sometimes decidedly dissent from Dr. Strong, as e. g. on the Communion question, but I like the book none the less on that account.
REV. T. WITTON DA VIES, D. D., Professor of Hebrew in the Baptist College, Haverfordwest, Wales. I lately received a copy of Dr. Strong's Systematic Theology Dr. Davies, the President of the College, has borrowed my copy, and he is so pleased with it that he has resolved to introduce it into his classes as a text-book.
PRESIDENT W. T. STOTT, D. D., of Franklin Colleoe, in the Indiana Baptist. If it could once have been said that American Baptists have no representative authors In Christian and theological literature, it can be said no longer. Among the best books
on Systematic Theology that have appeared in this country is Dr. Strong's The
book contains more matter, possibly, than Dr. Hodge's, and will doubtless take the place
among Baptists that Dr. Hodge's does among Presbyterians It is a biblical and
scholarly exposition of the fundamental doctrines of theology The minister,
though he be not educated in the schools, may comprehend the drift and substance of every discussion, while the man of learning will see that he is reading after a mind that is broadly familiar with the present sum of human knowledge in science, philosophy, and history. We cannot but rejoice that so able an exposition of Scripture doctrines, as Baptists hold them, has appeared. Wc are sure that the volume will be a standard for a long tune to come.
PROFESSOR E. H. JOHNSON, D. D, of the Okozek Theological Seminary, in the National Baptist Cursory examination of the whole and closer reading of various parts warrant the prediction that Dr. Strong's "Systematic Theology" will prove to educated ministers and to theological students one of the most interesting and instructive surveys of the field yet afforded to the public. It has the advantage high in any science, of being recent,
and of being at once concise and comprehensive The general arrangement is
logical, often especially felicitous, the analysis of a doctrine thorough, the definitions
clear and firm, the discussions vigorous, the spirit both conservative and kind
A wide sweep of theological erudition has been required for the preparation of this
volume The friends of the Seminary presided over by Dr. Strong, and the lovers
of a wise orthodoxy, may well rejoice at the appearance of this exceptionally able and useful work.
REV. HENRY S. BURRAGE, D. D„ lh Zton's Advocate, Portland, Maine. The part of the work which treats of the church is very full and satisfactory. Here, as indeed in the volume throughout, we have clear analysis, careful exegesis, and a sufficiently elaborate discussion for a forcible presentation of the author's views. .... The volume is a storehouse of religious truth, a complete handbook of theology, which should be in the hands of every minister, and every intelligent layman. To such we commend it most heartily. Its publication is an honor to the Baptist name, as well as u> its author.
REV. JUSTIN A. SMITH, D. D.. in the Chicago Standard. It la especially desirable as a 'ibrary-book, a book to be kept at hand for frequent use by those .... who may need to have access to a statement of Christian doctrine, which shall be, while concise, still complete, presenting in few words a clear statement of the
truth on each point Whatever point in theological discussion or inquiry the reader
may wish to consult his author upon, he will be quite sure to find it included In
respect to its general treatment of the great themes of theology, the book seems to us deserving of high praise. It is a book for a Baptist to name with pride and satisfaction as be compares it with those which bear the names of emlneut theologians of other denominations. The signs of research, and of careful, scholarly and critical study of
authorities are on every page At the same time one feels that he is receiving the
instructions of an independent thinker, whose mind works along the lines of the old and orthodox theology because study and reflection have seen in that theology all the notes of ascertained truth The book is admirably printed, and in point of mechanism, every way, is perfect. An Immense amount of labor has been bestowed upon it, in the mechanical parts of which Dr. Strong has had efficient co-laborers, yet which must still remain, in his own case, an example of industry, patient research, and conscientious fidelity.
PRESIDENT JOHN H. CASTLE, D. D., of the Toronto Baptist College. I am under deep obligations for your courtesy in sending me a copy of your great work on Theology. It is a monument to your industry, wide-reading, skillful gleaning,
keen insight, clear statement, and above ail, to your fidelity to God's own Hook
I am proud to see this rich contribution to theological science emanating from one of our Baptist Seminaries, my own Alma Mater.
PROFESSOR MOSES COIT TYLER, of Cornell University. I am deeply impressed by the greatness and nobility of the work you have thus achieved, and I congratulate you, and rejoice with you. I am delighted with the type, which concentrates a vast amount of matter and is also clear and beautiful. But the comprehensiveness of the work, its analysis, order, great learning, and reverent spirit —all fill me with admiration.
REV. G. W. LASHER, D. D., In the Journal and Messenger, Cincinnati, O. The more we read, the more we admire the sincerity and exhaustlveness with which each subject is treated, the frankness with which objections are stated, and the legion i
and Scriptural acumen with which the truth is vindicated This volume is one of
the most exhaustive and satisfactory treatises that has ever fallen into our hands, .... The student who has this book in hand is put into communication with the master minds of the Christian world. . . ; . A second feature of the work with which we arc specially
pleased is its thoroughly biblicul character The final appeal is to the word of God,
and the work is what the title of the author's professorship in the Theological Seminary indicates as his special field —" Biblical Theology."
REV. A. E. DICKINSON", D. D., in the Religious Herald, Richmond, Va. While this book will be specially valuable to theological students, it may be studied with profit by others. Such a work needs no commendation from us, It will take its place as one of the great authorities on the subjects of which it treats. The work is dedicated very appropriately to John B. Trevor, a great and notable patron of higher education.
REV. WILLIAM C. WILKINSON, D. D.,
of Tarrytown, N. Y.
I have received your monumental volume, and I thank you for it. My own experience In book-making enables me In some degree to appreciate what such a book costs to the author. I have not yet read the whole of it, but I have sampled it here and there, always finding, what I should certainly have expected, marks of clear consecutive thinking and answerably lucid expression. I congratulate you on this great work happily achieved What next?
EEV. T. EDWIN BROWN, D. D.,
of Providence, R. I.
I am sure I Rhall enjoy your book, and I hope profit by it. I know what book-making on a small scale means, and I can imagino what a herculean task it was to get such a book through the press.
PRESIDENT HENRY G. WESTON, D. D., of the Crozer Theological Seminary. I was just on the point of writing to you to congratulate you on the deserved success
of your recent work Every one, so far as I hear, feels that pleasure with your
Theology. You have done admirably a work at once very difficult and very desirable. It is the more gratifying because of the influence it will have in keeping our young ministers walking in the old paths. I very heartily rejoice in the favor whioh your book everywhere meets,
THE CENTRAL BAPTIST,
St. Louis, Mo.
All students in the ministry will give it a hearty welcome .... The doctrinal statements are brief but clear, scriptural proof-texts are printed in full (a great convenience for the student), various theories are characterized and discussed with sufficient fullness, and bibliographical indications are given for those who may wish to pursue a topic further. .... There is a freshness and breadth in the ii:ustrative material that give a pleasant flavor to the strong meat of the doctrine. . . . , While we congratulate Dr. Strong upon his excellent work, we are prouder than ever of the denomination that produces such a scholarly, pious and orthodox exposition of the doctrines of the Holy Book. Let us add that the publisher's work has been beautifully done; the paper, type and binding of this handsome octavo are worthy of high praise.
REV. A. C. CAPERTON, D. D., in the Western Recorder, Louisville, Ivy. This is for Baptists the most Important treatise on systematic theology that has
appeared since Andrew Fuller Dr. Strong combines brevity of statement with
clearness In a remarkable degree Instead of unfolding his views and supporting
them by texts, he unfolds the Scriptures On the great doctrines and on our
distinctive principles, this work leaves little to be desired The denomination owe
Dr. Strong a debt of gratitude for this great work.
THE CHRISTIAN HERALD,
of Detroit, Michigan.
It would be an excellent gymnastic for any one. Christian, Jew, or heathen, to work
through these lucid arguments and powerful presentations The typography
adapts it for lay as well as for professional reading The indexes of this great
work represent something like fine art. They are six in number, and with the Table of Contents occupy 170 pages. These are the special work of Rev. R. K. Ecclcs, M. D., of Salem, O., and supply all probable needs for ready-reference of any kind to the book.
REV. HENRY E. ROBINS, D. D.,
• Jena, Germany.
How shall I thank you for sending me your magnum opus to cheer me, as by daily visits from yourself, In this exile? If I were to speak without restraint, I fear that I should transgress even the privilege which our friendship gives, in expressing my admiration of the book. It is un honor to yourself, to t he denomination whose peculiar views it states with admirable clearness, and. above all. a real contribution to the knowledge of God and his relations to man—the subllmcst of all sciences.
REV CHARLES J. BALDWIN,
Granville, Ohio.
The work is Intrinsically of the highest value. I am astonished at its comprehensiveness and minute carefulness. It is by far the most exhaustive, and satisfactory manual that I know. The style of publication also, in typography, paper, and general arrangement. is admirable. The Index leaves nothing to be desired. Taken altogether, it is a monumental work, and I shall prize it as such.
In the Baptist Weekly, New York. The appearance of Dr. Strong's " Systematic Theology" will be hailed with delight by
all who are interested in the study of Christian doctrine and church polity He has
no sympathy with the theory of a pre-mlllennlal advent By some. Dr. Strong's
pasitions will be regarded as too conservative But if there is any danger to be
apprehended to our doctrinal basis from the influence of the " new theology," it is fit, perhaps, that those who are charged with the responsibility of training young men for the ministry should be careful to keep in the old paths and not expose themselves to the charge of encouraging dangerous deviations. The mechanical execution of this volume is superior, reflecting great credit on the Rochester publisher. It is appropriately dedicated to the most generous friend of Rochester Theological Seminary, John B. Trevor, Esq.
PROFESSOR N. W. BENEDICT, D. D,
Rochester, N. T.
The plan of the work and the untiring labor by which the purpose was carried out, merit the gratitude of all who desire definite knowledge on the great subject of which it treats. .... It is a magnificent thesaurus of learning on the science of sciences.
JOHN B. TREVOR, ESQ.,
Yonkers, N. Y.
I see that at last you have launched your bark " Systematic Theology," and have been kind enough to inscribe my name on the " head-board." I hope the new craft may have the favoring gales of Ood's blessed spirit, and in due time make a return voyage to you freighted with the lading of precious souls.
PHOF. GEORGE B. STEVENS, D. Dof the Yale Theological Seminary, in the New Englander. It is a work of long and painstaking labor, and places before the student the material of theology in far greater completeness than mere lectures could possibly do. The only danger would be that the mass of literature and detailed exposition of theories brought to his attention might quite overwhelm and discourage him. But as a Compendium which places before the student in comprehensive form almost the whole "Stoff" of theology, it is certainly a model in form and execution. It differs from such coinpendiums as Luthardt's and Hase's, in giving larger place to the dogmatio development of its various themes, using the historical material as illustrative chiefly. The opinions of the author are developed from a strictly conservative position. He is a Calvlnlst, but not all. Though following mainly the lines marked out by Augustine, the mediaeval realism and Calvin, the author's theology has bent at some points under the pressure of philosophical objections to these types of doctrine. In his exposition of the views which are peculiar to his denomination, Dr. Strong appears as a champion of the high-church Baptist theory
REV. TALBOT W. CHAMBERS. D. D„ in the New York Observer. It is not a hasty publication, but one that represents the labor and repeated study of a lengthened period. This is likewise apparent from its fulness of matter and accuracy of statement. It covers the whole ground of dogma, and the author's views are expressed with precision and clearness, and with entire fairness toward opponents
The author is In harmony with the views of the Reformed Churches, and his system is substantially what is known as Old Calvinism, but he is not fettered by any symbol or
formula, and states his opinions in a genial and attractive form The treatment
of God and the classification of his attributes are fresh and vigorous, quite an advance
upon the methods common half a century ago The discussion of the decrees of
God is profound and thorough and careful. The true view is maintained, but with such a wise choice of terms as to forestall tho common objections which confound certainty
with necessity, and providence with fate The chapter on the consequences of
sin is very discriminating and very strong. . . . The volume closes with no less than six
elaborate indexes, and in this respect is a model of book-making The book is a
very important contribution to American theological literature, and is worthy to stand on the same shelf with the stately volumes of Dr. Hodge's Theology.
PROF. M. B. KIDDLE, D. D., of the Allegheny Theological Seminary, in the Sunday School Times, Philadelphia, January 15,1887. It is but natural that here in America, where Christianity is courageously facing some of the most burning social and ethical questions, there should appear great treatises on Systematic Theology. Greatness we can attribute to such works without endorsing all the positions taken by the authors, and we gladly class the new volume of Dr. A. H.
Strong among these great treatises He is candid and consistent in his utterances,
and may well win praises from those who differ from him The chief excellence of
the work seems to be the happy union of strictly logical method with human interest, taking that phrase in its widest sense. This is meant to be high praise, and it may encourage some of our readers to obtain this book and study it The volume is
dedicated to John B. Trevor, Esq., whose liberality enabled the author to publish it,
The worthy Baptist banker cannot have made many better investments Dr.
Strong's theology is "up with the times." He deals with living issues, and can be used with profit in forming a correct estimate of the most recent doctrinal disturbance. The new aspects of truth he never ignores; but all such treatises as this of necessity suggest
how old the main issues are If any of the readers of this notice suppose that all
the thinking of a robust type is done by a few literary essayists of unevangclical tendencies, let them get this book, study a chapter or two, and if they are capable of thinking deeply, they will admit that systematic theology still receives the attention of strong minds, and that the views deemed "antiquated" by some elegant essayists have still their competent defenders.
REV. PROF. FRANCIS L. PATTON, D. Dof Princeton Theoloqicai. Seminary, in the PraibyUrian Review, April, 1887. We advise theological students to buy this book and keep it within easy reach for reference. It is a handsome octavo of 758 pages, of which the last 158 are indexes. It is a marvel of compression and at the same time of clear statement. The reader is greatly helped by its mechanical execution as well as by the author's skill in the art of expression. By judicious use of large and small print Dr. Strong is able to present his arguments adequately, and at the same time introduce ample references to the literature of the several topics with which he deals. Every page gives evidence of his wide reading and painstaking scholarship. He evidently wishes his pupils to be reading men
and to theologize for themselves The chapter on the Existence of God shows
acquaintance with the latest phases of the theistic controversy, and is very discriminating The apologetic value of prophecy and of miracles is vindicated in a way that
exhibits very gratifying contrast to the hesitating and half-hearted manner of some of our recent apologetes. The defense of Inspiration and the exhibition of the various
theories regarding it is the best that we have seen in a work of this kind The
chapters that deal with Sin and Imputation arc among the finest in the volume.
BIBLIOTHECA SACRA,
April, 1887.
This is one of themost Important contributions made in recent years to the subject of systematic theology. The book is rendered especially valuable by its methodical arrangement, its clear and condensed statements of the theological positions controverted or maintained, its judicious quotations from acknowledged authorities, and its abundant references to contemporary and standard literature. It thus will fill the place in one's library not only of a doctrinal statement, but of an outline of the history of doctrine as well. The value of the volume is greatly enhanced by an index well-nigh unexampled in fulness, occupying no less than 156 pages. Throughout the volume the author defends, with great clearness and vigor, the main positions of evangelical theology, especially as held among the Baptist churches, though it is doubtful if the majority of his brethren will go with him in his advocacy of the traducian hypothesis respecting the origin of the
human soul On the chapters upon the Scriptures a Revelation from God we have
little but unqualified praise Dr. Strong's argument for miracles, though brief, is
admirably conciived With this clear and correct statement of principles, short
work can be made of the great mass of objections to the Bible, and the student will do better to read carefully the ten pages devoted to them by Dr. Strong, than to read many
elaborate volumes that could be mentioned specifically devoted to their solution. ....
The chapter upon decrees is among the best In the book Dr. Strong's chapter
upon Eschatology would be admirable at any time, and is especially so, as adapted to
correct the evil tendencies of the present But in a single article scant justice can
be done to a book so comprehensive in its scope and so elaborately wrought nut In its details as this of Dr. Strong's is. We hail with gratitude the publication of such works even where we do not altogether agree with the views of the author.
PRESIDENT JAMES CULBOSS, D. D., of the Baptist College, Bristol, England. Its "idea" is patiently and finely worked out. . . . It will prove of real practical value to theological students and Christian teachers—being clear and precise In style, fair in spirit, wide in its sweep, and full of information, of vigorous and reverent thinking and tokens of personal Insight. It promises to meet my craving for an ideal book on systematic theology — that shall be an orderly exhibition, in just proportion, of ascertained truths, by a good man. Too often the systematlzcr dictates to the exegete, and utters his imperious "Stand/" where there is no danger: In your case, so far as I have seen, systematlzcr and exegete are in partnership.
REV. WILLIS A. ANDERSON, in the Andover Review, July, 1887. Dr. Strong's method enables him to compress into a single volume an unusually full discussion. Large use is made of historical theology, and this element makes it a very
valuable compendium for the student and pastor Another characteristic is the
large place given to the Scriptures. Every position taken is fortificd by Biblical evidence, and the citations are printed In full in the subordinate text. The discussion la carried forward in a direct logical manner and characterized by breadth ami scholarly attainment. We note, as particularly satisfactory, Dr. Strong's vindication of the necessity of theology and its importance for right religious life, the discussion of the
existence of God, the Trinity, and the Person of Christ The severity of form
with which this treatise is cast befits tho type of theology, which is thoroughgoing Calvinism. The new theology, ancient or modern, receives no hospitality. The New England Improvements In their diversity, from Edwards down, find no place in this consistent Calvinlstic divinity. Yet it is so tempered with a Christian catholicity of spirit, and is so interpenetrated with the suggestions of modern thought, as to be
attractive and inspiring As a whole, the work la a credit to the intellectual
strength of the author, a monument of learning which his friends may well cherish. The faults are mainly those of the theological system which holds the author in its grasp. However much one may dissent from his positions, he must admit the force of his logic. We regard Dr. Strong's work as one of the strongest presentations that can be made for the extreme Calvinlstic system of theology. And though its conclusions may not commend themselves generally, even to his own denomination, the reverent temper and caihoUo spirit which pervade the book must command universal admiration.
