Excerpt from Theological Encyclopaedia: A Brief Account of the Organism and Literature of Theology The student who is connected with a Will equipped school of theology may be supposed to have at command suitable means of gu'd ance in the great field of theological study. To one who is deprived of the benefit of such connection some practical suggestions may be serviceable. Even on reading a brief treatise, like that which follows, with its catalogue of theological branches and its appended book lists, some sense of bewilderment may over take him. Having in mind, then, the needs of the student who is left very largely to his own resources, we make bold to offer this list of advices: (i) In the first stage of theolog ical study a preponderant attention may prop erly be given to the Biblical branches. Every student needs to familiarize himself with a good book on Introduction to each Testa ment. Every student needs also to familiarize himself with a good book on the Biblical The ology of the Old Testament and the New Testament respectively. When the debt to these two classes of works has been paid the detailed exegetical study of some of the Biba lical books most vitally related to the Chris tian faith may follow. (2) In making choice.
