Overview

Milton Spenser Terry was a pastor and professor who taught apologetics, comparative religion, and Old Testament. Finding Jesus in every corner of the Old Testament was his specialty, and he frequently gave sermons and addresses on Old Testament prophecies, revealing the God of the Old Testament as a God of grace. He wrote extensively on apologetics, philosophy, comparative religions, and dogmatics, developing his own massive works on Christianity’s fundamentals.

In the Logos edition of these volumes, Terry’s dogmatics intermingle with the rest of your library, expanding your research further than ever. You’ll be able to search through all of these volumes with the tap of a mouse, finding Terry’s writings on Buddhism or Christ as mediator.

  • Pages: 619

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

Terry’s Biblical Dogmatics is his theological centerpiece. In three parts, Biblical Dogmatics delivers Christian doctrine central to the Bible. The first part, “The Constitution and Possibilities of Man,” exposes the nature of man, the purpose of morality, the causes of regeneration, and the purpose of faith. In the second part, “The Manifestation of the Christ,” Christological doctrines are revealed through an investigative study of the New Testament. And examining the God of the universe, “Our Father in Heaven” probes the head of the Trinity as God revealed himself to the nations, to the Hebrews, and eventually, through Christ.

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

Taking a less radical approach than his contemporaries, Terry evaluates the creation and apocalyptic passages of the Bible—specifically Genesis, Isaiah, Daniel, and Revelation—and produces his own criticism.

Terry investigates God’s revelation of himself to man throughout the ages, leading to the revelation of salvation through Jesus’ incarnation.

    Began reading Biblical Hermeneutics thinking as a layman, that I had a pretty good handle on how to interpret Scripture. Being fairly well read, I was actually just regurgitating the latest book I had read. Not being seminary trained, this book more than any other single work, gave me the tools to read and understand the Bible intelligently, and to explain to others sound methods of interpretation in the Bible as well as all literature. Looking forward to the Logos edition coming out this week.

    These works are quite stimulating, encouraging a deeper study of God's word. I agree with Jerome Smith regarding the care with which Terry should be read, although my main concern is not his prophetic views but his allegorical approach to the creation accounts. I think his insights into prophecy should be seriously and impartially considered.

    Milton S. Terry's work on Biblical Hermeneutics was the first Christian book I bought as a teenager. I recall reading it through three times as a new Christian while I was in high school. It has been of great help ever since. His other works contained in this collection should be equally useful. He is a very careful and sound Bible scholar. I may not always agree with his opinions (especially on Bible prophecy, which is why he ought to be studied carefully as a check on your own understanding), but his work is always significant and worth consulting.
