Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Doctrine of the Church: Outline Notes Based on Luthardt and Krauth
Christian Ministry. In this little book we confine ourselves mainly to the first of these six divisions, to the doctrine OF the church.
The whole field of Christian truth is in some form or other involved in the doctrine of the Church. It is the great question of the day, and most diverse views are held by earnest followers of Christ. It is impossible to discuss this important topic without entering the field of Polemics and although Dogmatics proper has to do mainly with the conception of the Church according to her internal essence, and while the discussion of the outward relations of the Church, her attitude to the State, her Constitution and organization, properly belong to that department of Practical Theology known as Church Polity, nevertheless as Dogmatics has to furnish, in the main, the leading ideas which regulate the Polity of the Church, we have deemed it best to include in our treatment a brief discussion of Church Polity.
