Truths for the People - Or, Several Points in Theology, Plainly Stated, for Begineers #261106

I. The word theology means a discourse con cerning God. It is not found in the Scriptures. We have there the word of God, good doc trine, sound doctrine, form of doctrine, doc trine of God, doctrine of Christ, form of sound words, the Scriptures, and such like phrases. Theology is divinity, as a theologian is a divine. Theology treats of the being and perfections of God, of his relations to us, his purposes towards us, his promises made to us, his will concerning us, and the right way of pleasing him.
