The author traces the evolution of the term 'dogma' from its classical Greek roots through its usage in the Bible and in church history, arguing that the traditional understanding of dogma as an infallible belief decreed by an authoritative church is incompatible with the Protestant principle of religious liberty. The author proposes a new definition of dogma as the scientific expression of the faith of the Protestant church at a given time, emphasizing the role of dogma in the spiritual welfare of the church, its importance for apologetics and polemics, and its provisional and revisable nature.
