Excerpt from Christian Dogmatics, Vol. 12: A Compendium of the Doctrines of Christianity

The work of the learned and pious Dr Martensen, Bishop of Seeland, in Denmark, which is now presented in an English dress, was originally written in Danish, and has gone through several editions. A German translation of it soon appeared, but the Author not being satisfied with that rendering of his work, re-wrote it himself in German, and the present English version is a translation of this later German edition prepared by Dr Martensen himself.

The work is what we call a text-book, or manual of Chris tian Dogma; and while here and there the English reader may perceive a degree of abstruseness in the method of treat ing certain doctrines, the Doctrine of the Trinity, for example, - which is only a reflection of the profoundness of the Author's thought, he will find throughout, a clearness and conciseness, not always to be met with in German theo logical works.
