"In the present study we shall be primarily concerned with
sacramental practice and interpretation as they are to be found in
the Reformation churches and especially those which took the
Reformed rather than the Lutheran path. But this does not mean that
we shall be committed merely to an historical survey. "The main
interest of the Reformers themselves was to be true to the
teachings of Holy Scripture itself, and we shall be most loyal to
them if, along with the general lines of their tradition, we
attempt a biblical rather than an historical statement. This will
have a threefold advantage. It will submit the Reformed
interpretation itself to its own biblical standard. It will bring
us into fruitful contact with other views in which over-emphases or
distortions conceal positive elements of truth. And it will give to
our discussion a living relevance for Christians of the present
day, for whom the sacraments may never be regarded merely as
objects of scientific enquiry, but must always be gratefully used
as divinely ordained means of blessing." - Geoffrey W. Bromiley
(from the introduction) Geoffrey W. Bromiley is professor emeritus
of Church History and Historical Theology at Fuller Theological
Seminary in Pasadena, California. He is best known as the
translator of numerous theological books, including the 9-volume
Theological Dictionary of the New Testament.
