Excerpt from Modern Practical Theology: A Manual of Homiletics, Liturgics, Poimenics, Archagics, Pedagogy, Sociology, and the English Bible Practical Theology is distinguished from the other branches Of Theology in that it is the application of them all to the influencing of human life. Theology is the sum Of our knowledge of God. Nat ural Theology is all we know of God from nature. Revealed Theology is all we know of God from the Bible. Exegetical and Biblical Theologies derive their knowledge from the careful study of the sacred writings. Historical Theology derives its knowledge from the dealings of God with the race Of man as recorded in secular and especially in sacred and church history. Systematic Theology arranges the knowledge of God derived from all sources into a system. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
