Excerpt from Outlines of Doctrinal Theology: With Preliminary Chapters on Theology in General and Theological EncyclopaediaDoes theology or religion come first? To settle this ques tion is to put aside much confusion. Is theology the science of religion or is religion the product of theology? Both po sitions are right. Some theological elements, perceived or sensed, are at the beginning of rudimentary religion, and a fuller theology contributes to the perfecting of religion. Again, religion in a measure unconsciously unfolds itself, and incorporates into itself elements from many sources. It thus furnishes, both in its less complete and in its more complete character, material for theology. The theory and the experience react upon and contribute to each other. Now our purpose requires us to notice them in one order, and now in the other.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
