Excerpt from A Calm Review of the Inaugural Address of Prof. Charles a Briggs
It speaks for itself, and in a manner that cannot fail to command extensive interest. Many of its suggestions are deserving of large respect; many of its sentences sparkle with genius; the glow of a high enthusiasm, like the pas sion for battle, mantles most of its pages. Though not always free from rhetorical faults, it exhibits in general marked skill in style and diction; it shows extensive, though not always well-digested learning; it manifests theological acumen and vigor, though sometimes betraying a lack of discrimination and of depth; it everywhere reveals admi rable ardor and earnestness, even in some instances at the sacrifice of discretion. It introduces the reader to a wide and interesting, though somewhat multifarious collection of material, but fails in some degree to organize such material into full unity and compactness it is too much a congeries or compilation - too little a single, well-developed, vital whole. All in all, however, it will not only take its place fitly among the brightest productions from the fertile pen of its author, but also rank high in the general list of inau gural discourses of this class.

The author introduces readers to this relatively new and important field of study by defining it, describing its origins, and explaining its goals. Biblical Theology is presented as a valuable tool for understanding the Bible as a unified text, and for interpreting its teachings in a way that is both faithful to the original context and relevant to the present day. The author goes on to present a detailed examination of the key themes and concepts of Biblical Theology, including the nature of God, the person and work of Christ, and the nature of the Christian life. He also discusses the relationship between Biblical Theology and other theological disciplines, such as systematic theology and historical theology. The book concludes with a discussion of the significance of Biblical Theology for the church today. The author argues that Biblical Theology is essential for understanding the Bible and for living out the Christian faith in a way that is both faithful to Scripture and relevant to the challenges of the present day.
