John Miley’s Systematic Theology, Volume 1
Overview
What is the relationship between theology and philosophy? Between theology and the sciences? And what is the proper task of theology? In his two-volume Systematic Theology, John Miley presents a unified and concise sum of Christian doctrine which understands God in light of philosophical and scientific criticism, and affirms the veracity of God’s revelation. The depth of Miley’s theological reflection and the clarity of his thought have made his Systematic Theology one of the key texts in Methodist theology ever since.

Top Highlights
“Historical theology is often used in a sense to include ecclesiastical history, but the doctrines of the Church are its specific subject.” (Page 4)
“It is the office of historical theology to trace the history of doctrines from their incipiency in individual opinion down to their full development and formation.” (Page 4)
“Practical theology is concerned with the methods for the effective application of doctrinal truths to their practical ends.” (Page 4)
“Biblical theology is closely related to exegetical, but advances to a doctrinal position. The Scriptures furnish the material with which it works, and which it casts into doctrinal forms. Biblical theology has nothing to do with the confessions or formulas of faith which appear in the history of doctrines.” (Page 3)
“Theology in its strictly doctrinal sense is viewed as completed when we reach practical theology;” (Page 4)
