A M Fairbairn: 2 books

In this comprehensive work, Dr. Fairbairn presents a detailed review of the history of Christian doctrine and offers a thoughtful reconstruction of key Christian tenets—with the aim of keeping Christ central to the theology. Published in 1893, the book helped to establish Fairbairn as a reformist and a liberal theologian in the Hegelian tradition.

The author of this 1902 meditation on Christianity asserts the religion could not exist without the personal charisma of the historical Jesus, and would have ceased to exist without the metaphysical view of Christ. Influenced by Hegel and other modern thinkers, Fairbairn expresses his reaction to the intellectual ferment of his times.
