Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. <i>Encyclopedia of Sacred Theology: Its Principles</i> is the second in a three-volume series.

Written by Abraham Kuyper and translated into English by Reverend J.

Hendrick Devries, it is a massive book about the history of theology and its place amongst the sciences.<br><br>This volume does not contain the typical contents of an encyclopedia.

Instead of a series of short entries on a variety of topics, Kuyper's book reads much more like a history text.

The book is divided into three parts, each of which consists of multiple chapters.

The first part is a discussion of the very name of the Theological Encyclopedia, and whether this is an appropriate naming convention to follow.

The second part examines the organism of science, and theology's place within the accepted scientific disciplines.

The third and final part is a detailed discussion of theology itself, with chapters on the conception, methods and history of the discipline, and more.

The book concludes with a brief index of the topics discussed and the proper names referred to.<br><br>Kuyper's work is extensive and challenging.

The book presents an extremely detailed and nuanced discussion of the nature of theology.

At more than 700 pages, it is no short work, particularly when one considers that it is only one volume in a three-volume set.<br><br>Kuyper's <i>Encyclopedia of Sacred Theology: Its Principles</i> is an advanced work about the study of theology.

It is not a 'light' read, but one that contains an enormous amount of information.

For those serious about the study of theology, Kuyper's work cannot be missed.
