Lux Mundi: A Series of Studies in the Religion of the Incarnation,: 10th Edition, 1890
Christianity; Incarnation
In the gradual recovery of man from sin 319-320
In Christ 320-321
In the Church 321-322
His work in the Church:--
1. Social or ecclesiastical 322-323
2. Nourishing individuality: both of character through
the Sacraments, and of judgment through authority 323-327
3. Consecrating the whole of nature, material as well as
spiritual 327-328
4. By a gradual method 328
Imperfection of the Old Testament 328-331
" of the Church 331-332
The Holy Spirit personally present and continually
operative in the Church 332-333
II. The Theology of the Holy Spirit. Real but limited
knowledge through revelation 334-335
He is (_a_) distinct in Person but very God,
(_b_) proceeding from the Father and the Son,
(_c_) One in essence with the Father and the Son 334-335
The Doctrine of the Trinity not Tritheistic 335-336
III. The Inspiration of Holy Scripture. Fatal results of not
keeping this in context with the rest of the Holy Spirit's
work in the Church 337-340
1. It is an article of the Faith, not among its bases 340-341
2. It is a necessary article 341
3. Its certain and primary meaning, as seen by examination
of the books of the Old and New Testaments 341-348
4. Its practical meaning and obligation 349-351
Questions raised as to its meaning by Old Testament
criticism:--
(_a_) While the Old Testament is, like the New
Testament, certainly and really historical, can it
admit of elements of idealism in the narrative? 351-354
(_b_) Can it admit of dramatic composition? 354-356
(_c_) Can it admit the presence of primitive myths? 356-357
The Church not prevented from admitting these to be open
questions either:--
(1) By any dogmatic definitions of inspiration 357-358
(2) By our Lord's language as to the Old Testament 358-360
We may expect the criticism of the Old Testament, like that
of the New, to deepen and enlarge, not impair, our
reverence for the 'Word of God' 360-362
IX.
