Published by Hodder and Stoughton Limited: London c1925
"
Francis L. Patton's Fundamental Christianity is a concise yet intellectually robust exposition of core Christian doctrine, written by a prominent theologian and former President of Princeton University and Princeton Theological Seminary. Composed in the early twentieth century, the work reflects Patton's commitment to defending orthodox Christianity at a time of growing theological modernism, presenting the essentials of faith with clarity, logic, and measured authority.
The book addresses foundational themes such as the nature of God, the authority of Scripture, the person of Christ, and the principles underpinning salvation, offering a reasoned articulation of traditional Protestant belief. Patton's approach is both scholarly and accessible, engaging with contemporary debates while maintaining a firm grounding in classical theology. His writing exemplifies the intellectual rigour of the Princeton tradition, balancing philosophical reflection with scriptural interpretation.
This Hodder and Stoughton edition, published in London circa 1925, is presented in its original red cloth binding, retaining a clean and dignified appearance typical of theological works of the period. As a representative text of early twentieth-century Christian apologetics and doctrinal teaching, it holds enduring interest for collectors of religious literature, students of theology, and those exploring the development of Protestant thought in the modern era."
