Christian Politics1kg Limited, 2015 M06 2 - 452 páginas Excerpt from Christian Politics The other deficiency is intentional. For reasons elsewhere explained, historical facts cannot safely be made the grounds of political science. Induction is not the mode in which Christians will search for principles, where Revelation has provided them already. And even in their proper place, as illustrations and confirmations of principles, their evidence is often so suspected, motives are so disputed, circumstances so confused, causes and effects so hidden, and when traced out so questionable, that by resting on them we run the risk of diverting attention from certain truth to doubtful arguments, and of losing the demonstrable principle from its connexion with the disputed fact. Theory, indeed, is valueless and mischievous as opposed to facts. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
