DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Christian Thought to the Reformation Man has no deeper or wider interest than theology; none deeper, for however much he may change, he never loses his love of the many question it covers; and none wider, for under whatever law he may live he never escapes from its spacious shade; nor does he never find that it speaks to him in vain or uses a voice that fails to reach him. Once the present writer was talking with a friend who has equal fame as a statesman and a man of letters, and he said, "Every day I live, Politics, which are affairs of Man and Time, interest me less, while Theology, which is an affair to God and Eternity, interests me more." As with him, so with many, though the many feel that their interest is in theology and not in dogma. Dogma, they know, is but a series of resolutions framed by a council or parliament, which they do not respect any the more because the parliament was composed of ecclesiastically-minded persons; while the theology which so interests them is a discourse touching God, though the Being so named is the God man Conceived as not only related to himself and his world but also as rising ever higher with the notions of the self and the world.
