The department of ANTHROPOLOGY includes the Nature, Origin, and
Antiquity of Man, his Primitive State and Probation; the Fall; the
Effect of Adam's Sin upon himself and upon his Posterity; the Nature of
Sin; the Different Philosophical and Theological Theories on that
subject.
SOTERIOLOGY includes the Plan or Purpose of God in reference to the
Salvation of Men; the Person and Work of the Redeemer; his Offices as
Prophet, Priest, and King, the Work of the Holy Spirit in applying the
redemption purchased by Christ; Common and Efficacious Grace,
Regeneration, Faith, Justification, Sanctification, the Law or Rule of
Life, and the means of Grace.
ESCHATOLOGY includes the State of the Soul after Death; the Second
Coming of Christ; the Resurrection of the Body; the General Judgment and
End of the World, and the Doctrine concerning Heaven and Hell.
The plan of the author is to state and vindicate the teachings of the
Bible on these various subjects, and to examine the antagonistic
doctrines of different classes of Theologians. His book, therefore, is
intended to be both didactic and elenchtic.
The various topics are discussed with that close and keen analytical and
logical power combined with that simplicity, lucidity, and strength of
style which have already given Dr. HODGE a world-wide reputation as a
controversialist and writer, and as an investigator of the great
theological problems of the day.
