The Critical Review of Theological Philosophical Literature, Vol. 3 (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover

Excerpt from The Critical Review of Theological Philosophical Literature, Vol. 3

The Christian facts being these, they imply a certain theory of the Universe, especially concerning God in His relation to Man, held in common by Jesus and those who intelligently be lieve on Him. The facts being what they are,. We see that God is regarded as an ethical Personality standing in peculiar relation to Man, whose position as a Son is of the highest significance. Moreover, Sin is distinct from physical and social evil and is, in a large sense, their cause. It is not an infirmity, or a necessity, or a negative side of good. It is the outcome of a free moral person ality; the guilt it entails is consonant with the dignity of the nature that creates it. God, though not the author of Sin, is the Creator and Sustainer of all else and is conceived as working all things through Christ towards the creation of a new Heaven and new Earth, wherein, as the Kingdom of God, righteousness and love will be triumphant.
