Viac o knihe

The book delves into the mid-nineteenth-century theological conflict between John Nevin and Philip Schaff, proponents of the Mercersburg Theology, and Charles Hodge of Princeton Seminary. It highlights their disagreements on Christology, ecclesiology, sacramentology, and church history, arguing that Mercersburg's approach provides a richer, historically grounded understanding of the Reformed faith. Additionally, it explores the potential of Mercersburg Theology to foster ecumenical dialogue, revealing connections to Anglican, Catholic, and Orthodox thought, making it a significant study for contemporary theology.
