The Defense of the FaithFirst, the main contents of the gospel of grace is briefly set forth in terms of theology (chapter 1). Then this same gospel is set forth in terms of philosophy (chapters 2-4). Finally, this gospel is presented to the "natural man" in order that he might be saved (chapters 5-11). It is especially in the last chapters that controversial matters have been brought in. Even so, the main goal throughout is the discovery of the most biblical and therefore the most effective way of bringing Christ to men. - Introduction. |
