Overview

At the Mennonite General Conference of 1911, a committee of 10 was appointed to prepare a work on Christian doctrine. The design of the work was not to serve as a confession of faith, but rather as an exposition of the doctrines which a confession of faith ought to contain. A table of contents was formed and writers were chosen to prepare each chapter.

Bible Doctrine: A Treatise on the Great Doctrines of the Bible, Pertaining to God, Angels, Satan, the Church, and the Salvation, Duties and Destiny of Man is a must-have for those interested in Reformation history. With the Logos edition, all Scripture passages in Bible Doctrine: A Treatise on the Great Doctrines of the Bible, Pertaining to God, Angels, Satan, the Church, and the Salvation, Duties and Destiny of Man are tagged and appear on mouse-over. What’s more, Scripture references are linked to the wealth of language resources in your Logos library, making these texts more powerful and easier to access than ever before for scholarly work or personal Bible study. With the advanced search features of Logos Bible Software, you can perform powerful searches by topic or Scripture reference—finding, for example, every mention of “redemption” or “Matthew 5:3.”

Top Highlights

“‘Is such a sorrow for sin, or abhorrence of sin, such a change of mind about it, as leads the sinner to turn away from it with all his heart.’” (Page 224)

“From the time a soul surrenders to God there is obedience in his heart.” (Page 288)

“The humble never run ahead of the Lord, but wait patiently for whatever the Lord sees fit to give them. Greatness in the kingdom of heaven is not for the believer to seek after. The desire to be great is in itself a great hindrance to greatness. Self-acquired greatness will not last; but the spiritual exaltation which comes as a result of humble, submissive, self-sacrificing service will last forever.” (Page 612)

“Ex. 20:1; 24:4; Deut. 31:24. Paul’s writings. See Gal. 1:11, 12. The book of Revelation. Rev. 1:1, 11.” (Page 102)
