Whither? A Theological Question For The Times

Whither? A Theological Question For The Times is a book written by Charles Augustus Briggs, an American biblical scholar and theologian. Published in 1889, the book explores the question of where Christianity is headed in the modern world. Briggs argues that the traditional doctrines of Christianity are no longer sufficient to address the challenges of the modern age, and that a new theology is needed to guide the church forward. He calls for a more flexible and inclusive approach to theology, one that takes into account the latest scientific and historical discoveries. Briggs also examines the role of the church in society, arguing that it should be actively engaged in social and political issues. The book was controversial at the time of its publication, and Briggs was eventually forced to resign from his position at Union Theological Seminary due to his views. Nevertheless, Whither? A Theological Question For The Times remains an important work in the history of American theology, and continues to be studied and debated by scholars today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
