A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

These selected addresses are based upon three affirmations. One is that the Living God has been revealed in Jesus Christ. Another is that there is an eternal life to be lived in the midst of time, in the presence of God, and by the power of His Spirit. The third is that this eternal life is entered into through an experience in which conscience, desire, and will are enlightened, renewed, and surrendered to Christ. Of that experience and its issues these addresses are the exposition. In the 1916 issue of “The Biblical World,” a publication of the University of Chicago, a review of “The Evangel of the Strait Gate” evaluates the book. "The twenty-six sermons are full of the profound convictions that have inspired the best Christian preaching; but the expression is fresh and vigorous. There are few sermons of justification by faith which are clearer or more credible than Professor Clow’s discourse on this theme under the fine title, "Dressed in Beauty Not My Own.” The preacher presents his divisions, propositions, and titles of sections so plainly that there can be no least doubt as to how the subject was disposed in the preacher’s mind. There fertile development of the texts in the volume, especially Ephesians 1:1, "The Threefold Environment.” Also "A Song of the Upper Room,” using the great hymn of Bernard of Clairvaux, is notably fresh and interesting. But the primary factor in the volume is the preacher’s consciousness of the verity of the distinctly Christian experience.”
