First published in 1880 and reprinted in 1987, this is a
fascinating collection of essays by the nineteenth-century
theologian and historian George P. Fisher, arranged into three key
classifications. The first group comprises papers that relate to
the history, polity and dogmas of the Roman Catholic Church, with a
particular focus on how the religion of ancient Rome reappears in
the characteristic features of Latin Christianity. The second group
of essays relates to the New England theology that was pioneered by
Jonathan Edwards and entailed important modifications in the
philosophy of Calvinism. Unitarianism is also discussed in detail,
which is the subject of a paper on Channing, who was regarded as
the most prominent representative of the movement in America. The
third set of essays explores Theism and Christian evidences, with
papers presenting analyses of rationalistic theory, Atheism, and
the intellectual and spiritual career of the Apostle Paul. A
fascinating and comprehensive collection, this important reissue
will be of particular value to students interested in the interplay
between history and Christian theology.
