The Ritschlian Theology And The Evangelical Faith (1897)

The Ritschlian Theology And The Evangelical Faith is a book written by James Orr and published in 1897. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the Ritschlian theology, which was a school of thought within Protestant theology that emerged in Germany in the late 19th century. Orr examines the key ideas and concepts of Ritschlian theology, including its emphasis on the ethical teachings of Jesus and the rejection of metaphysical speculation. He also compares and contrasts Ritschlian theology with the evangelical faith, which emphasizes the authority of scripture and the importance of personal salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. Throughout the book, Orr argues that the Ritschlian theology is fundamentally incompatible with the evangelical faith, and that it represents a departure from traditional Christian beliefs. He also critiques the Ritschlian theology for its rejection of supernatural elements in Christianity, such as miracles and the resurrection of Jesus. Overall, The Ritschlian Theology And The Evangelical Faith is a comprehensive exploration of a significant movement within Protestant theology, and a defense of the evangelical faith against what Orr sees as a dangerous departure from traditional Christian beliefs.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
