Overview

With the wealth of theological texts available today, trying to find the most valuable books can be daunting. To guide divinity students as they wade through centuries of theological scholarship, John Randolph published Enchiridion Theologicum: A Manual for the Use of Students in Divinity. These two volumes bring together what he professes to be the most vital theological texts on which a student should base his or her studies. Its intention is not to detract from larger topical studies or assert these writings as superior to all others, but simply to provide a textual basis for understanding and interpreting the truth of Scripture—one that has passed the tests of time and scholarly examination. Randolph calls these texts “landmarks” to help direct larger studies.

Enchiridion Theologicum contains 21 essential texts for students in divinity. A handful of well-known texts are in Latin, including The Apology of the Church of England by John Jewel. These writings discuss free thinking, deists, transubstantiation, the mysteries of Scripture, divine revelation, the Trinity, and more.

With the Logos edition of Enchiridion Theologicum, these essential reference tools automatically integrate with your Logos library, allowing you to cross-reference and study these key theological texts like never before. Conduct powerful topical searches and let these valuable writings become “landmarks” as you continue your theological explorations. Students of divinity, Latin studies, church history, and those looking to get more out of Scripture will value these texts.
