Systematic and Practical Theology

Theological condemnation of others, which breaks off fellowship in either judgment or contempt, is impermissible.

The common root of modern science and Christian theology was Greek philosophy. The historical accident that caused the Christian religion to become heavily theological was the fact that Jesus was born in the Eastern part of the Roman Empire at the time when the prevailing culture was profoundly Greek.

The theological systems of men and schools of men are determined always by the character of their ideal of Christ, the central fact of the Christian system.
