Theology Reduced

The late venerable and godly Dr. Archibald Alexander, of Princeton, United States, had been a preacher of Christ for sixty years, and a professor of divinity for forty. He died on 22nd of October, 1851. On his death-bed, he was heard to say to a friend, "All my theology is reduced to this narrow compass -- Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners" (Ed. David Otis Fuller, Spurgeon's Sermon Illustrations, 21).
