Progressive Orthodoxy: A Contribution To The Christian Interpretation Of Christian Doctrines (1892)

By Egbert Coffin Smyth

Book Overview

Progressive Orthodoxy is a book written by Egbert Coffin Smyth and first published in 1892. The book is a contribution to the Christian interpretation of Christian doctrines. Smyth argues that orthodoxy, or the traditional beliefs of Christianity, need to be reexamined and reinterpreted in light of modern knowledge and understanding. He advocates for a more progressive and inclusive approach to Christian theology, one that takes into account the social and cultural context in which it is practiced. Smyth addresses a range of topics, including the nature of God, the role of Jesus Christ, the meaning of salvation, and the nature of sin. He also discusses the relationship between science and religion, arguing that they are not necessarily at odds with each other. Progressive Orthodoxy is a thought-provoking and challenging book that continues to be relevant to contemporary discussions about the nature and meaning of Christianity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
