Theology
Most of Jones' publications were of an historical nature. Nevertheless his theology and his opinions on doctrine would surface regularly in his work. He was a firm Calvinist, and although it is tempting to classify him as Evangelical (see also his fellow Welsh Christian scholars Bobi Jones and R. Geraint Gruffydd), he distanced himself from the pietistic evangelicalism that rose from the ashes of the 1904-1905 Welsh Revival. He opposed liberal theology and feared humanism's effect on the people of Wales.

Famous quotes containing the word theology:
“A theology whose god is a metaphor is wasting its time.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“... the generation of the 20’s was truly secular in that it still knew its theology and its varieties of religious experience. We are post-secular, inventing new faiths, without any sense of organizing truths. The truths we accept are so multiple that honesty becomes little more than a strategy by which you manage your tendencies toward duplicity.”
—Ann Douglas (b. 1942)
