HALL'S DOGMATIC THEOLOGY 



The author realizes that his undertaking is a formidable 

 one, and that imperfections must appear in its execution. 

 But the volumes which have thus far been published have 

 secured a favourable and encouraging reception on both sides 

 of the Atlantic. The learning, skill in argument and clearness of 

 exposition shown in the work ; the author's success in translating 

 ancient doctrines into modern terms, and his sympathetic 

 understanding of new knowledge and contemporary thought , 

 have been acknowledged by reviewers of every type — Ro- 

 man Catholic, Anglican, and Protestant alike; — and his 

 reverent adherence to Catholic doctrine has also been noticed. 

 The following extracts are selected from a considerable number 

 of generally favourable reviews. 



VOLUME I — INTRODUCTION 



Church Times, London: "This admirable treatise should 

 be found very useful on both sides of the Atlantic. . . . To 

 our mind, the most valuable chapter ... is the one in which 

 he demolishes this confusion between the supernatural and 

 the abnormally natural, and shows that no advance in man's 

 knowledge of the universe could ever bring what is super- 

 natural under natural law. . . . We would gladly have quoted, 

 had we had space, from Dr. Hall's remarks on Anglicanism 

 and Catholicism. . . . The book reaches a high level of excel- 

 lence." 



The Living Church, Milwaukee: "It exhibits the qualities 

 which previous books have led us to expect from Dr. Hall, 

 the severely restrained language, the careful accuracy of 

 statement, the equitable judgment, and the background of 

 knowledge. ... It is this success ... in reconciling loyalty 

 to Anglican authority with loyalty to the greater authority 

 of the Catholic Church, that may perhaps be said to give 

 his book its greatest measure of value . . . When completed, 

 the service will undoubtedly be a monumental addition to 

 Anglican and indeed to Catholic Theology. It may, indeed, 

 in time be recognized as holding such a place in Anglican 

 theology as is held by the Summa of St. Thomas Aquinas 

 in the Lg-tin communion."
