By Samuel Miller

Book Overview

A Treatise On Mercersburg Theology: Or Mercersburg And Modern Theology Compared is a book written by Samuel Miller and published in 1866. The book provides a comprehensive analysis and comparison of Mercersburg Theology, a school of thought within the German Reformed Church, with modern theology. Miller, a professor of ecclesiastical history and church government at Princeton Theological Seminary, examines the key theological concepts of Mercersburg Theology, including the sacraments, the church, and the role of reason in theology. He then compares these concepts with those of modern theology, including the influence of Enlightenment thought and the rise of biblical criticism. Miller argues that Mercersburg Theology offers a more balanced and comprehensive approach to theology than modern theology, which he sees as overly rationalistic and individualistic. The book is an important contribution to the study of American religious history and theology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
