Excerpt from Theology as Science: And Its Present Position and Prospects in the Reformed Church For the same reason I have also added the Inaugural Lecture delivered three years ago, when I entered upon my work in this University. Under the pressure of my duties at the time, I did not think of publishing it then, according to the usual custom, and it is reproduced here, not only because of its relevancy as so far completing this discussion, but because some passages had to be omitted during its delivery from want of time, on account of which it was not wholly reported. I have preserved the direct forms of address, because my primary aim is to put these Lectures into the hands of my students as a sort of general introduction to theological thinking, and to be relieved of the need of repeating them in the class-room. But others who are interested in our work may be also interested in this comparatively full exposition of the theological standpoint on which it is conducted.
