Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elements of Man's Moral History: From the Creation to the End of Time It is also assumed that man was created In the moral image of God consisting in righteousness and true holiness - consequently holy and happy - morally good and morally free. He was at one and the same time able to stand, and yet liable to fall. The great moral scale was in a state of equipoise. Obedience and consequent happiness were cast into one scale, while disobedience, inseparably connected with inevitable misery, was placed in the other. Warned of the threatened consequence of disobedience, it remained with him, in the exercise of his unbiased and unfettered volition, to give the counter poise. This he did. He gave the scale that preponderance which invested his moral character with a new feature; a feature which identifies him in every phase of his subsequent moral history; and which invests that history with an interest deep and solemn, which, it is hoped, the sequel will contribute in some degree to promote, de velop and gratify. The only remaining modification of the moral character of man, assumed in the following pages, is that which results from the atone ment by Jesus Christ. Regeneration, and all the graces of the Spirit, dwelling in the renewed heart, giving man a meetness for heaven, flow from this as their only source.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

This book was released on 2016-08-13 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Historic Christ in the Faith of to-Day I. One of the elements of modern religious life to be greatly prized is a widespread desire to learn all that can be known of Jesus of Nazareth. Every attempt to meet this need of a reliable representation of the facts about Jesus must be based upon pro longed criticism of the historical sources, combined with recurrent contemplation of His Person. The Gospels must be appraised, or they will never be appreciated. Evasion of free inquiry, either on the pretext of the sanctity of the books or the majesty of their subject, excites a corrosive suspicion that the history cannot be trustworthy. Even now an opinion is abroad that we cannot be sure of the truth of the Gospels; and with it mingles an impatience at endless, abstruse inquiries which lead nowhere. From all sorts and conditions of men there comes a loud demand for frankness from competent scholars. While there can be only a limited num ber of men intellectually equipped for dealing with the recondite problems arising out of the Synoptical and Johannine literature, there is a growing multitude who feel themselves held by the soul's quest for Jesus Christ. The following study, therefore, aims at showing how one of the multitude who seek for this supremely important knowledge, having been guided by an honest, earnest impressionism, has gained the satisfaction of a reconstructed con ception of the world's greatest, most loving and Divine Teacher. Jesus is no spent force; He is still luring men forward by His gracious, strong personality. The rigorous criticism to which the Gospels have been subjected has resulted in a vindication of their substantial historicity. Tnixlike a new thought of Jesus rises from the fires of criticism, andwe see this indestructible Person more clearly than any generation since the time of the Apostles. How He lived and died, what He believed and taught, can be discovered with greater certainty and lucidity by reason of the work done by scholars and critics.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Christ of History: An Argument Grounded in the Facts of His Life on Earth The following able analysis of this work is from a review of it in the columns of "The London Morning Advertiser," 7 of June 1, 1855: - "This work belongs to the highest class of the productions of modern disciplined genius. The author modestly intimates only the simple truth when, in the preface, he states that the construction, if not the idea, of his high argument, is new to the world. Its materials are obtained by a wise and severe application of the inductive method of discovering truth, to those general portions of the evangelic narratives, which are readily acknowledged to be undoubtedly historical by the most profound and frank skeptics. "The author consents, for the sake of argument, to leave out of view all that is miraculous. He gathers together some of the facts, with their teachings, which present to men the manhood of Jesus, and endeavors to prove that such a manhood, under the particular outer conditions, can only be possible by the presence and union of Godhead. We can not, in our very limited space, do more than give a brief, though not unpremeditated, description of the work. We take up the book as seekers after truth, and our author speedily introduces us to 'the outer conditions of the Life of Christ.' Without perplexing us with too minute details, or with innumerable theories, Mr. Young leads us into the immediate presence of great historical facts. We pause in their presence only long enough to see and understand clearly the great realities themselves: and we are hurried onward to the next step in his argument - 'The Work of Christ among Men.' This is handled somewhat more fully, as was becoming so high and regal a theme; but even here he will not allow us to delay too long. As illustrations can at best only shadow forth the writer's own conceptions of his subject, the author indulges in but few.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Christian Ethics: History of Christian Ethics Before the Reformation Theology from the proper dogmatic system, and its fruitful viiof the mere intellectual forms which have been generated or occasioned by the logical process of reflection upon the products of the past. The exigencies of the practical Christian service, the humanizmg of the government and orders of the Church, and the unionistic strivings, have also put the whole Christian system into closer relations with the living habits and modes of thought. And all this has brought the fact more clearly into view from various sides of Theology and practice, that the essential and paramount interest of Christianity is the Christian life itself, and that the scientific comprehension and elucidation of it is the chief function of modern theology.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Ethics Within Organized Christianity This Jesus appears, however, in history, primarily as a new inspiration and vital force. We have no detailed and exhaustive account of his activity and no exact summary of his actual doc trine. For a biography Of him we must depend upon the imperfect memories of loving interpreters, whose materials are given in such a way as to preclude accurate chronological rear rangement. At best such reordering is hypothetical, however attractive. Honest and devout men and women gave their ex planations Of what Jesus had taught, and interpreted him to the eager numbers who, after his death, became his followers. These questions they answered with a large freedom, SO that it is now often quite impossible to say how far we have the words Of Jesus and how far the commentary of the disciple.1 In some cases, as in the case Of Paul, the claim was advanced for inward Spiritual authority to speak in the name of Jesus even after his death.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Words of Christ N o apology is needed for the publication of another Life of Christ, for the subject, to use the words of Mr. Carlyle, is of quite perennial, infinite character, and its significance will ever demand to be anew inquired into, and anew made manifest. The freshness and interest of the name of Jesus, and its power as a great factor in the spiritual history of the world, increase with each generation. The influence of His life, His words, and His death, have, from the first, been like leaven cast into the mass of humanity. He made religion Spiritual instead of ceremonial and external; universal, in stead of local. He gave us the magnificent dowry of a faith in One Common Father of the Whole human race, and, thus, of a world-wide brotherhood of all mankind. He confirmed the doctrine of our immortality, and scattered abroad the germs of a heavenly life by His fundamental requirements of love to God and our neighbour. All reforms of individual and public life lie veiled in these principles, awaiting the advance of our moral sense, to apprehend and apply them. They have already given freedom to the slave; raised woman; purified morals; mitigated war; created liberty; and made humanity a growing force, in things private, civil.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Historic Christ I shall admit that Mr. Inge's attack, and especially a remark in which he suggested that we upheld a formal orthodoxy based on extreme scepticism, drew from me the lecture that holds the eighth place in this volume. That lecture throughout, and the ninth in part, go beyond the general subject proposed for consideration. But to confine oneself too rigidly to that subject is to court misunderstanding. My pur pose is the exact opposite of that which Mr. Inge attributed to me when he condemned a sharp sever ance between the object of faith and the world of physical phenomena. But the concentration of faith and science on one object - one Person - cannot be safely efl'ected without the most careful distinction of the two methods. Otherwise the Christian faith will either be reduced to an acquaintance, more or less intimate, with certain events that happened some centuries ago - a sort of historical knowledge tinged with emotion - or shrivel into an acceptance of formal propositions defiant of reality. It astonished me a little to find myself accused of wishing to base formal orthodoxy on scepticism - or indeed on any thing else. Mr. Inge must have seen Mambrino's helmet flashing in the sun.

This book was released on 2015-07-05 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.
