It is by enquiring in each case how this apparent irreconcilability is to be removed that a real understanding of the doctrine is achieved. The theme is illustrated by a lucid discussion of the four fundamental doctrines of Creation the Trinity the Incarnation and Grace. In the course of this there emerges the further conclusion that these four doctrines are by no means unrelated to one another but are closely bound together in an organic unity.
