The Mercersburg Theology and the Quest for Reformed Catholicity

More about the book

Focusing on the theological clash between John Nevin and Philip Schaff of the Mercersburg Theology and Charles Hodge of Princeton Seminary, this book delves into key areas such as Christology, ecclesiology, sacramentology, and church history. W. Bradford Littlejohn argues that Mercersburg's approach provides a more historically grounded Reformed faith compared to Hodge's. The second part highlights the potential of Mercersburg Theology for fostering ecumenical dialogue, revealing connections to Anglican, Catholic, and Orthodox thought, making it a significant study for contemporary theology.
