Positive Protestantism: A Concise Statement of the Historical Origins, the Positive Affirmations, and the Present Position of Protestantism (Classic Reprint) by Alphonzo Augustus Hobson (Paperback / softback, 2015)
Excerpt from Positive Protestantism: A Concise Statement of the Historical Origins, the Positive Affirmations, and the Present Position of Protestantism This book grew out of a series of sermons on Protestant Affirmations. The writer had so many requests to suggest a book which would present the origin, principles, and prospects of Protestantism that he made a diligent search for such. Inability to find a book covering this entire field led to the determination to write one. There are many histories, many theologies, many controversial works, but so far as he could discover positive constructive statement treating all the field and showing Protestantism as it is to-day. It is the author's hope that this little book may fill the need. Many pastors may find it a useful book to have ready to give inquirers upon this subject. Much more could have been written upon the various matters treated. The purpose of the author to meet the need of the ordinary reader rather than of experts has guided in the selection of the material. Into the Appendix has been put a considerable amount of valuable evidential material to which many thoughtful readers will wish to refer, but which could t be included in the body of the book without too greatly retarding the movement of thought.
