Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Presbyterian Quarterly and Princeton Review, Vol. 6 Exegetical Theology being thus fundamental and important, having such thorough-going scientific methods, it must have manifold divisions and subdivisions of its work. These, in their order and mutual relation, are determined by a proper adjustment of its methods and the subordination of the his torical to the inductive process. Thus at the outset there are imposed upon those who would enter upon the study of the sacred Scriptures certain primary and fundamental questions respecting the holy writings, such as: Which are the sacred writings why do we call them sacred whence did they origi nate? Under what historical circumstances? Who were their authors? To whom were they addressed what was their design? Are the writings that have come down to us genuine is the text reliable? And the like. These questions may be referred to the general department of Biblical Introduction. Then the text itself is to be interpreted according to correct principles and by all the instrumentalities at hand, with all the light that the study of centuries may throw upon it. This is Biblical Exegesis. Finally, the results of this exegetical process are to be gathered into one organic whole. This is Biblical Theology. These then are the three grand divisions into which Exegeti cal Theology naturally divides itself, each ih turn having its appropriate subordinate departments.
