Robert Dabney (1820-98), who was for forty years Professor in Union Seminary, Virginia, U.S.A., was in the opinion of Dr. Archibald Alexander, 'the best teacher of theology in the United States, if not in the world'. The third volume includes Dabney's treatment of issues in society which are of perennial concern to the Church of Christ, including Anti-Christian Science, Secularized Education, Strikes and the influence of Roman Catholicism. A number of biographical skethes of great Christians whom Dabney knew also appear, including one of General T. J. ('Stonewall') Jackson, to whom Dabney had been Adjutant-General during the Civil War.

Rich in content and stimulating in style, Dabney's work continues to be tremendously helpful. The fact that his Systematic Theology, first published in 1871, is now in its ninth edition is proof in itself that the volume is not superfluous.

Systematic Theology

In these days of the soundbite and the autocue, public speaking is a declining art-form, though it is not extinct and still has its own weight and force. In New Testament times, unlike today, rhetoric was a highly regarded skill and works were written about it which are still read. Dabney quotes liberally from these, but does not always agree with them. he knew that gospel preaching was not to be 'with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect'. 'Evangelical eloquence', for Dabney, was unique. It consisted in 'the soul's virtuous enery exerted through speech' which applied 'the authority of God to the conscience' and formed 'the image of Christ upon the sould of men'.

This unique republishing of the 1867 R. L. Dabney classic apologia for the South has been annotated by editor Gary Lee Roper, a former pastor and Christian educator. English meanings for the many Latin phrases used by Dabney are given for greater understanding of Dabney's thesis. In addition, a related bonus essay is included by the editor. Reason as to why R. L. Dabney wrote this book, and why it is considered his premier work are given. In this apologia, Dabney tells why he thinks that abolitionism was nothing more than a type of unbelief – of man standing in judgment of God’s Word – and that that unbelief had been spreading and growing since the Jacobinist French Revolution.

Life and Campaigns of Stonewall Jackson

Stonewall Jackson. His very name evokes the image of the solid, immovable Confederate general whose sobriquet, earned at the Battle of First Manassas, no longer requires quotation marks. In this volume, Stonewall's pious Christian character, service to the church, unwavering commitment to duty, affectionate role as husband and father, as well as his magnificent service to Virginia are carefully recorded by his close friend Robert Lewis Dabney. 
Labeled by some a religious fanatic, General Jackson was simply a consistent biblical Christian who lived out his faith every day, seriously and without compromise. Dabney's account of military life in the field with General Jackson provides poignant insight into the character of the General as they discuss theology and military history, pray together, and gallop to the sound of the guns. In a day bereft of true heroes, Stonewall's gallant deeds and virtuous conduct still move our hearts with admiration. He shows us how a Christian soldier should live and die.
