ABSTRACT
There are two forms of theology, of which the two passages in my text are selected as individual specimens, the one declaring that God never repents, the other that he does repent. The theology of the intellect conforms to the laws, sub-serves the wants and secures the approval of our intuitive and deductive powers. It includes the decisions of the judgment, of the perceptive part of conscience and taste, indeed of all the faculties which are essential to the reasoning process. In some respects, but not in all, the theology of feeling differs from that of intellect. The free theology of the feelings is ill fitted for didactic or controversial treatises or doctrinal standards. Martin Luther, the church father, who used it so often, became thereby unsafe polemics. The theology of the intellect enlarges and improves that of the feelings, and is also enlarged and improved by it.
