It is used, indeed, in our translation of the New Testament, but always as equivalent to a Greek word which means not dogma, but moral teaching. Thus St. Paul tells servants to adorn the doctrine, that is, the teaching of God their Saviour by not stealing from their masters; and I might quote a half-score or more of passages from which it would appear that what we call duties are the doctrines of the New Testament, so that we use only its own language when we term the Sermon on the Mount a summary of Christian doctrine. Indeed, Christianity has no doctrines in our sense of the word, --no technical or formal statements as to the subjects on which Christians have been disputing for these many centuries.
