Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Christ of History and of Experience During the four years that have elapsed since the publication of this book, the subject of which it treats - the problem raised by the union of the Historical and the Spiritual in Christianity - has come more and more into prominence. Modern critical theories as to the Gospel records are forcing the question to the front on its historical side; and its pressing theological interest, as attested by prevalent Hegelian and Ritschlian tendencies, has received a further illustration in the rise of the school of Religious Symbolism represented by the late Auguste Sabatier. In the discussion of this central problem for Christian faith to-day, perhaps some may find the line taken in these Lectures not unhelpful. It may be affirmed with confidence that no theory will long commend itself which is not primarily founded on a penetrative analysis of the self-consciousness of Jesus. The view adopted in the first Lecture, that our Lord abstained from uniting in prayer with His disciples, has been strongly contested by the late Professor Bruce.
