Book excerpt: Excerpt from Jesus Christ and the Christian Character When one turns with this new problem to the Gospels, he discovers with fresh surprise the ex traordinary richness and variety of the teaching of Jesus. Each period in history goes with its question to the simple record, and finds an an swer which seems written to meet the special problem of the time. In an age of theology the Gospels were a source of theological doctrine; in an age of ecclesiasticism they fortified the Church; in an age of emotionalism they kindled the ﬂame of piety. The same adaptability is now discovered once more by the age of the Social Question. As others have found in the teaching of Jesus the key Of doctrine or organization or religious experience, so there is now delivered by the same teaching to the mind of the present age a key of the Social Question. Remote from the condition of the modern world as was the life of Jesus, and pri marily directed as was his teaching, not to social but to spiritual ends, he has much to say of social duty. His ethics are not individualist, atomic, a doctrine of the single soul; but organic, social, a doctrine Of the common life.

Some men do not give religion any place in their lives. They think they can do without it. They have other aims which they consider higher, or to which they give more care ful attention. Others seek religion and hold it in esteem, but they do not make it the principal thing. They think more of something else. Religion has a place in their lives, as they suppose, but it is a low place, an Obscure corner. It does not come to the front. But those who give religion no place or a low place in their lives not only act contrary to their own reason and higher impulses, but they violate the Whole spirit of revelation, and especially the definite and repeated teachings and commands and expostula tions of Jesus.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christianity Is Christ The aim of this handbook is to present in a short, popular form the substance of what has been written in recent years on the central subject of Christianity the Person and Work of Christ. It is intended to pro vide materials for answering a question which has often been raised of late, What is Christianity? For some time past there have been clear indications that the question of the Personality of Jesus Christ is being re examined and re-considered, and that once again it has become in a very definite way the center of oppo sition to Christianity. It is hoped that this summary of the Christian position as stated by its leading modern exponents will prove of service to theological students and younger clergy, as well as to the men and women in our churches who are brought face to face with va rions attacks on the Christian faith. A bibliography of the best works is appended, and the present manual is little more than the substance of these in outline for general use.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Jesus The Life of Jesus here presented to the English public is an accurate translation of my book Leben Jesu, which was published in German in 1901 (Tubingen and Leipsic). I myself have seen proof-sheets of the translation, and I hope that the book, in its new form, may win many friends amongst English-speaking people. All my scientific publications deal to some extent with the same subject. For an earlier date, I may instance my book on the Johannine Gospel (Darmstadt, 1887), the last section of Stades Geschichte des Volkes Israel (Berlin, 1888), my Neutestamentliche Zeitges chic lite (Freiburg and Leipsic, 1895), besides some minor lectures and essays. More recent examples of my interest in various questions concerning the Life of Jesus will be found in my lectures "Die judische Schriftgelehrsamkeit zur Zeit Jesu" and "Das Messiasbewusstsein Jesu und seine neueste Bestreitung" (Giessen, 1901); in my essay on the same question in the Zeitschrift fur Neues Testament und Urchristentum (ii. 265-274); in my Religionsgeschichtliche Vortrage (Giessen, 1902); in my latest book, War Jesus Ekstatiker ?(Tubingen and Leipsic, 1903); and, finally, in an essay on the Lords Supper to be published next May in the Zeitschrift fur Neues Testament, etc. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Jesus of History I regard it as a high privilege to be associated with this volume. Many who know and value Mr. Glover's work on The Conﬂict of Religions in the Early Roman Empire must have wistfully desired to secure from his graphic pen just such a book as is here given to the world. He possesses the rare power of reverently handling familiar truths or facts in such manner as to make them seem to be almost new. There are few gifts more precious than this at a time when our familiarity with the greatest and most sacred of all narratives is a chief hindrance to our ready appreciation of its living power. I believe that no one will read Mr. Glover's chapters, and especially his description of the parable-teaching given by our Lord, without a sense of having been introduced to a whole series of fresh and fruitful thoughts. He has expanded for us with the force, the clearness, and the power of vivid illustration which we have learned to expect from him, the meaning of a sentence in the earlier volume I have alluded to, where he insists that, Jesus of Nazareth does stand in the center of human history, that He has brought God and man into a new relation, that He is the present concern of every one of us and that there is more in Him than we have yet accounted for.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Primer of the Christian Religion: Based on the Teaching of Jesus, Its Founder and Living Lord To that voice the apostles gave heed, and regarded no other. To that voice they also have given heed who, in the long and weary struggle to realize the kingdom of heaven on the earth, have spoken words and done deeds that have scattered new light and given fresh courage to the hearts of men. To that divine voice it is our duty to listen, and then boldly to live out and to speak out what we have heard. No man or body of men can listen to Jesus for us; we must listen for ourselves. No council of the dead Past or of the Present has a right to come between us and Jesus Christ and say that it has listened for us, and that thus or thus must we believe. We owe it to Jesus that no voices of men, howsoever holy and learned, shall be allowed to drown or in the slightest degree confuse that clear voice of His, which will one day be heard in judgment as it is now heard in accents of divine grace.

Gordon, in manuscript. He urged its immediate publication, and consented to write an introduction to its pages. Before the closing chapters were completed he had passed away from his useful life. On this account his name has no connection with the book, further than this grateful acknowledgment of his encouraging words. The learned Dr. Harnack, in his History of Dogma, when speaking of the Christian's faith in God as the father of Jesus Christ, makes the following comprehensive statement: So far as this God is believed to be the omnipotent Lord of heaven and earth, the Christian religion includes a knowledge of God, of the world, and of the purpose of created things. These three spheres, then, are the proper objects of our contemplation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
