Shall the teaching of theology continue to be viewed chiefly as the communication to the candidate for a denominational ministry of the formulas of belief authorized by the ecclesiastical tribunal under whose jurisdiction he is to serve ? Or shall the primarv interest in the teaching of theology be the encouragement and direction of the student in research into the sources of knowledge, and in the co-ordillation and use of his findings in whatsoever part of the church he can ultimately enter with moral sincerity and intellectual self-respect ?
