Reason and Faith in the Theology of Charles Hodge: American Common Sense Realism

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Charles Hodge engaged the leading thinkers of his day to defend the human ability to know God. This involved him in affirming the importance of both orthodoxy and piety in the life of a Christian. His work involved expanding on the insights of the Westminster Confession of Faith as it applied to the theory of salvation and the role of Christ.

Rezensionen

"Anderson offers a good, clear description of Hodge's writings on reason, common sense, general revelation, the knowledge of God and of the self, and several other related topics. This is a fine piece of work that will bring clarity for many to the study of natural theology, especially, at Old Princeton." - Douglas A. Sweeney, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, USA
