Excerpt from The Duke, Vol. 5: School of Religion Bulletin To put it another way, the historical approach divines beneath the surface diversity of theological opinion the relatively simple substructure of the basic problems of which Christian theology must take account. In so far as it remains purely historical, it cannot claim, of course, to judge between the differing answers. It does, however, bring us face to face with certain reiterated and insistent themes of Christian thought. In an interesting recent essay, a distinguished exponent of the historical approach, N. P. Williams, suggests that there are six major problems which have persistently recurred in the history of Christian thought: first, the doctrine of God; second, the doctrine of the Person of Christ.
