I distinguish it from Revelation on the one hand, and from Religion on the other. This distinction is of prime importance.<\/p>\n<p>Theology is drawn from Revelation, and the human mind is a factor in the process. That from which a science is derived cannot be identical with the science itself; and, as it will appear that the process of forming theological conclusions is complicated, we shall find that the possibilities and probabilities of mistake are numerous. Even were the logical manipulation faultless, a distinction ought to be recognized between the Divine material and the result of its human handling; but the logical manipulation never has been faultless, and never will be. <strong>[<a href=\"https:\/\/theologicalstudies.org.uk\/pdf\/e-books\/stoughton_john\/historical-theology_stoughton.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Continue reading<\/a>]<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>John Stoughton&#8217;s Historical Theology covers the development of Christian doctrine from the early church to 1560.
