Christian Theology by H. Orton Wiley

In the digital text, we have omitted the page numbers found in the printed volumes (but we have left the page numbers in the table of contents for reference purposes).
Wiley frequently incorporates disconnected notes on the subjects he discusses in the body of the text. We have included these in text boxes in a smaller font. By searching these files, users will have access to a wealth of information: a virtual encyclopedia of theological terms and a succinct history of doctrine. GL
