Book excerpt: Excerpt from Syllabus and Notes of the Course of Systematic and Polemic Theology Taught in Union Theological Seminary, Virginia The main design, next to the establishment of Divine Truth, has been to furn ish students in divinity, pastors, and intelligent lay-christians, a view of the whole field of Christian theology, without swelling the work to a size too unwieldy and costly for the purposes of instruction. Every head of divinity has received at least brief attention. The discussion is usually compact. The reader is requested to bear in mind, that the work is only styled Syllabus and Notes of a course in theology. The full expansion or exhaustive illustration of topics has not been promised. Hence unless the reader has already a knowledge of these topics derived from copious pre vions study, he should not expect to master these discussions by a cursory reading. He is candidly advertised that many parts will remain but partially appreciated, unless he shall find himself willing either to read enough of the authorities referred to in the Syllabus, to place him at the proper point of vievy or else to ponder the outline of the arguments by the efforts of mature and vigorous thought for himself, and thus\ fill out the full body of discussion.
