This book contains the substance of the lectures which for a number of years I have been giving to my classes in Dogmatics. At the request of my friend, the Rev. J. W. Horine, D. D., Manager of the Board of Publication of the United Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in the South, it has been turned over to the Board for publication.
The title of the book is also his suggestion. I was inclined to call it simply A Brief Dogmatics. I am aware that the title Biblical Dogmatics is open to just criticism, chiefly because of possible confusion with what is called in theological study Biblical Theology. But the title chosen will serve to indicate my conviction that Christian doctrine is biblical doctrine.
In so brief a discussion of the great subject of which the book treats I thought an index was not necessary, especially as the table of contents is quite full.

About Biblical DogmaticsWriting with the premise that any Christian dogmatics must be a systematized, biblical dogmatics, traditional Lutheran theologian Andrew Voigt provides a succinct treatment of core confessional Christian doctrines, including God, humanity, sin, Christ, redemption, the Holy Spirit, the means of grace, and the church. Voigt demonstrates both the exegetical justification and internal coherence of the doctrines, establishing them as not mere deductions but as expressions of the Christian faith given through divine revelation. As Voigt states, “The study of Christian doctrine must view the question of the essence of religion from the standpoint of Christianity, which assumes that true religion is given from above. It begins with the judgment of faith that the Christian has the true religion.” |
