Introduction to Dogmatic Theology

by Edward Arthur Litton

Introduction to Dogmatic Theology presents a rare examination of dogmatic theology from an Anglican perspective.

Originally published in 1882, Litton's work holds to the essentials of evangelical faith, while drawing heavily from St. Augustine. Primarily a dogmatic theology, Litton's work also serves indirectly as a commentary on the 39 Articles, yet is free from the limitations a true commentary would present. It deals with subjects such as faith, Christian theism, the state of man, angels, and the person and work of Christ.

Readers will find this book a comprehensive and balanced treatment of Anglican dogmatic theology.

[Justin Dillehay · Rating 4 out of 5]

This work by 19th century Anglican E.A. Litton covers the topics of Scripture, God, Man, and Christ (it is actually an abridgment of a longer work covering all dogmatic topics). Litton writes with a commitment to the final authority of Scripture, but with a proper subordinate respect to experience, tradition, and philosophy. He's also quite meticulous. Anyone with a Protestant retrievalist mindset will enjoy this book. If you want to shell out more money, you'd do well to buy the unabridged version with the intro by Philip Enscombe Hughes.
