CHRISTIAN THEOLOGY: An Ecumenical Approach

by Walter Marshall Horton ‧ RELEASE DATE: March 16, 1955

While confessedly planned as a text-book for theological students, Professor Horton of herlin has produced a book which will be of inestimable value to all thinking Christians. It is written clearly and the material is arranged in a logical and easily followed order. By his sub-title ""An Ecumenical Approach"" the author expresses his purpose to avoid a sectarian or ""one-school"" presentation of theology. He proceeds on the assumption that the basic needs of humanity are universal and that the essential Christian answer to those needs is universally the same. At the same time he recognizes that there are unresolved differences between the main streams of Christian thought today; namely,- the Catholic, the conservative Protestant, the liberal Protestant, the redical Protestant and the Anglican Accordingly, at the end of his discussion of each subject he outlines clearly and objectively what these differences are. The subjects treated are those covered by every comprehensive book on . The Knowledge of God, the Nature of God, God and the World, God and Max, Chri the Baviour, the Church and the Means of Grace, and the Christian Hope. The bibliography and review questions enhance the value of the book as a text-book. A valuable contribution to Christian thought which should be in demand for years in come.
