Description

Rediscover incisive, wide-ranging volumes of essays from one of the world's most renowned systematic theologians. Originally a companion piece to The Domain of the Word, these volumes, each featuring a brand new preface, bring together a variety of Webster's thought on dogmatic and moral theology.

This first volume explores God, creation, providence, Christ, salvation and the church. Webster delves into how they have a common conception of the matter of Christian theology, and of the way in which that matter governs the order of a presentation of Christian truth.
After an overall account of the relation between God in himself and the economy of God's external works, there are studies of the divine aseity and of the theology of the eternal Son. These are followed by a set of essays on creation out of nothing; the relation between God and God's creatures; the nature of providence; the relation of soteriology and the doctrine of God; and the place of teaching about justification in Christian theology.

Each of the essays explores the relation of theology proper to economy, and together they pose an understanding of Christian doctrine in which all theological teaching flows from the doctrine of the immanent Trinity. These essays are invaluable for those seeking to understand Webster's thought and the intricacies of systematic theology.
