William G. T. Shedd Collection (13 vols.)
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
Called a leading Reformed theologian of the 1800s, William G. T. Shedd was a prolific theologian, historian, and literary genius. He affirmed the inspiration of Scripture against the advances of modernism and higher criticism, and championed Reformed theology throughout his lifetime. Throughout his career, Shedd tackled controversial topics such as the atonement and the doctrine of endless punishment, and he took care to view doctrine from within the larger context of history. The rhetorical force of Shedd’s theology stems from his literary studies, his pastoral heart from his years as a minister, and his theological and historical eloquence from years of defending Reformed theology in the face of increasing skepticism and doubt.
The 13-volume William G. T. Shedd Collection contains Shedd’s famous 2-volume History of Christian Doctrine, his extensive writings in defense of Calvinism, two volumes of sermons, and five volumes of articles and essays on topics ranging from evolution to Pelagianism.
