The study of the history of theology is of more than academic interest. It throws light on both truth and error. It helps us to recognise old heresies when we meet them in modern dress, and introduces us to the classical elucidations of truth which overthrow them for all time. William Cunningham (1805-1861) was one of the greatest of Scottish theologians, and "Historical Theology" is his masterpiece. These lectures cover most of the major doctrinal discussions of Christian history up to Cunningham's day, paying special attention to Romanism, Socinianism (the parent of much modern liberal teaching), and Arminianism.
