Excerpt from Outlines of Systematic Theology: Designed for the Use of Theological Students Systematic Theology, first published in 1886. Of the original work there have been printed seven editions, each edition embody ing successive corrections and supposed improvements. During the twenty years which have intervened since its first publication I have accumulated much new material, which I now offer to the reader. My philosophical and critical point of view meantime has also somewhat changed. While I still hold to the old doctrines, I interpret them differently and expound them more clearly, because I seem to myself to have reached a fundamental truth which throws new light upon them all. This truth I have tried to set forth in my book entitled Christ in Creation, and to that book I refer the reader for further information.
