1.) CHAPTER 1. introductory: (1) natural and revealed religion, (2) the holy scriptures.
      introductory. I. Natural and Revealed Religion. II. The Holy Scriptures. We are about to attempt a statement of the main doctrines of the Christian Faith, taken as the expressions of truths divinely revealed in the Scriptures, and divinely adjusted to the nature and needs of man.

      The Doctrine of God. I. Theism. II. The Holy Trinity. I. Theism. In these pages, of course, no attempt is made to elaborate the argument for God from man and nature.

3.) CHAPTER III. the doctrine of the father
      The Doctrine of God (continued). The Doctrine of the Father On this most sacred region of truth much is best said under the Doctrine of the Son, and that of the Spirit. The study of Their revealed glory, aways related to that of the Father, who is Their fountain, best illustrates His. And thus, on the other hand, the Christian will always aim ...read more

5.) CHAPTER IX. the doctrine of the church.
      The Doctrine of the Church. "That Church of Christ which we properly term His body mystical, can be but one; neither can that one be sensibly discerned by any man, inasmuch as the parts thereof are some in heaven already with Christ, and the rest that are on earth (albeit their natural persons be visible) we do not discern under this property w ...read more

6.) CHAPTER V. the doctrine of the son (continued).
      The Doctrine of the Son (continued). II. The Work of Christ. (1) As regards Creation generally, Scripture reveals the Eternal Son, the Logos, the living Fiat of the Father's will, is concerned specially and vitally with the act of creation.

7.) CHAPTER VI. the work of christ (continued).
      The Doctrine of Christ (continued) III. The Work of Christ (continued) The Resurrection, Ascension, Session, and Return. We do not state here the proof of the fact of our Lord's Resurrection.

       The Doctrine of Man. I. Man as Created. II. Man as Fallen. III. Man as Restored. I. Man as Created. Scripture gives no formulated Anthropology.

10.) CHAPTER X. the doctrine of the ministry.
      The Doctrine of the Ministry The New Testament contains numerous allusions to offices and officers in the visible Church, and to a special designation and ordination of men to Church functions, sufficient to justify the words of Art.

11.) CHAPTER XI. the doctrine of the sacraments.
      The Doctrine of the Sacraments. "Sacraments ordained of Christ be not only badges or tokens of Christian men's profession, but rather they be certain sure witnesses and effectual signs of grace and God's good-will towards us, by the which He doth work invisibly in us, and doth not only quicken (excitat), but also strengthen and confirm our fait ...read more

12.) Glorify Christ
      It was a secret as deep but also as simple as possible; it was the Lord Jesus Christ. Really and literally, Jesus Christ was the one ruling consideration for St. Paul; not himself, his claims, position, influence, feelings; not even the Church. To him the Church was inestimably precious, but the Lord was more. And all his thoughts about work, autho ...read more

13.) Homesick for Heaven
      He is as much alive in human life as the worldling is, and more. He cordially loves his dear ones; he is the open-hearted friend, the helpful neighbor, the loving and loyal citizen and subject, the unattentive and intelligent worker in his daily path of duty. Time with its contents is full of reality and value to him. He does not hold that the eart ...read more
