Christian theology is based on the great fact of Christianity in the world. Its specific materials are found in the whole history of God’s redemptive and light-giving self-manifestation, and the truths involved and established in that divine movement. The scope of its inquiries and formulations, therefore, embraces the essential facts and meaning of the most unique and wonderful phenomenon that the records of time present: the mightiest and most beneficent power that proves itself to be the spiritual salvation of men. Milton Valentine’s Christian Theology is a full and clear systematic theology from the Lutheran perspective.
