Christian Dogmatics

by John Macpherson

Publisher:

T&T Clark

, 1898

Overview

In Christian Dogmatics, John Macpherson gives a systematic presentation of all the leading doctrines of the Christian faith. The standpoint is that of a moderate Calvinism. The history of the dogmas has been introduced only insofar as it’s necessary for the clear and intelligible statement of the positive doctrine. Macpherson provides lists of literature at the head of several sections, leading readers to treatises and works that are distinctly helpful in the discussion of those section’s subjects. The introduction is a helpful preface to the systematic study of Christian doctrine.

Key Features

• Presentation of leading Christian doctrines from a moderate Calvinist

Endorsements

The book is never heavy. It is written in a scholarly style, clear, full, restrained, judicious, and it is a work which every minister will do well to get on his shelves and to read and re-read.
