OF NATURAL AND REVEALED THEOLOGY, DESIGNED, ESPECIALLY, FOR LOCAL PREACHERS AND SUNDAY-SCHOOL TEACHERS. BY THE REV. HENRY W. WILLIAMS, D.D., AUTHOR OF AN EXPOSITION OF ST. PAUL'S EPISTLE TO THE ROMANS," ETC. BIBLIOTH MAY 1882 GODI EIANA LONDON: PUBLISHED FOR THE AUTHOR: T. WOOLMER, 2, CASTLE STREET, CITY ROAD, PREFACE. THE HE following work is designed to afford a concise but comprehensive view of the subjects included in Natural and Revealed Theology. The form and order in which these subjects are presented have approved themselves to the Author, as the result of the studies of many years; and he is not without hope that their treatment will be found to be adapted to the requirements of the present day. It has long been his conviction that, in addition to elaborate works on Theology, there is needed a Manual of comparatively small compass, which might be used by Local Preachers and Sunday-School Teachers, in seeking to qualify themselves for their important duties. The more direct preparation for those duties is, of course, to be found in the devout and earnest study of the Holy Scriptures themselves; but it must be of great advantage to all engaged in these departments of Church-work, to have a comprehensive view of the noble science of Theology. Such a Manual the Author has endeavoured to provide. |
