The Doctrine Of Sacred Scripture Vol 1

Excerpt from The Doctrine of Sacred Scripture, Vol. 1: A Critical, Historical and Dogmatic Inquiry Into the Origin and Nature of the Old and New Testaments The particular scope and method of this book are set forth in the introduction, and the fuller justification of its purpose and plan must be left to the results reached by the entire course of its discussions. All its parts, however, have been made as impersonal as possible for the author has not been willing to seem to be inculcating his own opinions rather than seriously and thoroughly investigating the truth of a great subject. A few words of a more personal and familiar kind will surely, then, be both suitable and welcome. I speak these words in the preface, in order that my readers and I may enter upon this difficult investigation, being already on good terms and disposed to keep in right relations with each other. A certain mutual justice and courtesy must enter into these right relations for, while every author should feel bound to render a fair equivalent for the time which he asks of his readers, and should never rudely discredit their cherished opinions, he may feel also that he, in turn, has certain just claims to make upon them.

Reprint of the original, first published in 1867.

Described by Pope Pius XII as the most important theologian since Thomas Aquinas, the Swiss pastor and theologian, Karl Barth, continues to be a major influence on students, scholars and preachers today. Barth's theology found its expression mainly through his closely reasoned fourteen-part magnum opus, Die Kirchliche Dogmatik. Having taken over 30 years to write, the Church Dogmatics is regarded as one of the most important theological works of all time, and represents the pinnacle of Barth's achievement as a theologian. T&T Clark International is now proud to be publishing the only complete English translation of the Church Dogmatics in paperback.
