This was Professor Mackey’s personal copy into which his notations may be seen. Professor Mackey gave this copy to the Scottish Academic Press from which library this well studied book is now offered to you.

Known as the father of modern theology, Schleiermacher was equally at home in the theological systems of Protestant orthodoxy and the new world of thought shaped by the historical and natural sciences and German philosophy. This ease in different theological frameworks is clearly shown in his discussion of the wide range of themes in dogmatics. This volume outlines Schleiermacher’s views on every major doctrine of orthodox Christianity. This classic work in systematic theology remains an indispensable volume to any student of theology, and especially for those who want to understand liberal theology.

An Irishman, born and bred, James Patrick Mackey had a dazzling student career, BA with First Class Honours from the National University of Ireland, followed by a LPh, BD, STL and DD from the Pontifical University of Maynooth. He then moved to the north, and took a PhD on the nature of evil in modern philosophy and theology supervised by the notable Presbyterian theologian, Professor James Haire. After a variety of short-term university teaching posts in subjects as diverse as Hebrew, Old Testament, Philosophy and Dogmatics he became first Associate Professor and then Professor of Systematic and Philosophical Theology at the University of San Francisco. He served there from 1973 until his appointment to the Thomas Chalmers Chair of Theology in the University of Edinburgh in 1979. Following his retirement twenty years later, he and his wife Noelle returned to Waterford in Ireland.
