These lectures contain as full an outline of Theological Study as
we have hitherto been able to fill up in our discussions and
investigations, during the three years allotted to Theological
Instruction in this Institution Oberlin, 1840]. . . My design was
at first, not to publish, but barely to print a small number of
copies exclusively for the use of the students. But as it was
supposed that others would desire to possess them, I have consented
to their publication, reminding my readers that they are a bare
skeleton of the course of Theological study here pursued. The
skeletons of these lectures have heretofore been copied out by each
student as a kind of memoranda, to which he might in future refer,
to refresh his memory. This has cost so much labor, that the
students have earnestly solicited their publication. For their use
and benefit, they are therefore principally intended. . . They are
designed as memoranda, as the summing up of previous discussions,
thought, and investigation, rather than as essays from which
Theological information is to be derived. . . It has been no part
of my design to relieve the student from the necessity of deep
study, research, and original investigation upon every topic in
Theology. . . I have intended so to shape these skeletons, that
those who understand them, should have a general, and pretty
thorough acquaintance with Theology, as a science, so as not to be
at a loss for an answer to almost any question upon Theological
subjects. To the superficial and unpracticed Theologian, many
things that I have said, will of course be unintelligible. But
those who think, and love to think, will, I hope, be able to
understand them. CHARLES G. FINNEY (1792-1875)was America's
foremost evangelist. Over half a million people were soundly
converted under his personal ministry in a day when there was no TV
or microphones. He was also an excellent theologian, philosopher,
educator, pastor and reformer while professor of theology and
president of Oberlin College. Harvard's Perry Miller said, "Finney
led America out of the eighteenth century." He is remembered,
according to Harvard's W. G. McLoughlin, for his "textbook on how
to promote revivals of religion. This book is the perennial classic
to which all succeeding generations of revivalists have turned for
authority and inspiration." He was also a father to the evangelical
and holiness movements.
