Studies in Theology.

This work was originally set up and printed by Wm. B. Eerdmans in May of 1947, and a copy of that edition is present with the Donald J. MacNair Manuscript Collection [MS 019], accession #014a024008.

From the Foreword:
"The different chapters in this book were originally written as independent books or magazine articles. The Inspiration of the Scriptures was first published as a series of articles in the magazine Christianity Today in 1936, then in book form in 1937 and reprinted in 1940. Christian Supernaturalism appeared as a series of articles in the same magazine in 1937. The Trinity was printed in two parts in The Evangelical Quarterly, London, England, in 1938 and 1939. The Atonement was published in book form in 1941. The Person of Christ was published in book form in 1943.
In order that these may be made more readily available and presented in systematic order, it has been decided to combine them in one volume under the general title Studies in Theology. Incidentally, the fact that these were written at different times and independently of each other accounts in part for a small amount of repetition where the subjects over-lap."
