Excerpt from The Kernel and the Husk: Letters on Spiritual Christianity
I am more pained than surprised to infer from your last letter that your faith has received a severe shock. A single term at the University has sufficed to make you doubt whether you retain a belief in miracles and If miracles fall, the Bible falls and with the fall of the Bible I lose Christ; and if I must regard Christ as a fanatic, I do not see how I can believe in a God who suffered such a one as Christ thus to be deceived and to deceive others. Such appear to be the thoughts that are passing through your mind, as I infer them from incidental and indirect expressions rather than from any definite statement.

The time is not perhaps far distant when few will believe in miracles who do not also believe in an infallible Church ;and then, such books as the present will appeal to a larger circle. But, as things are, the author would beg all those who worship a miraculous Christ without doubt and difficulty to pause here and read no further. The book is not intended for them ;it is intended for those alone to whom it is dedicated, the doubters of this generation. For there are some who feel drawn towards the worship of Christ by love and reverence, yet repelled by an apparently inextricable connection of the story of Christ with a miraculous element which, in their minds, throws a doubt over the whole of His acts, His doctrine, His character, and even His existence. Others, who worship Christ, worship Him insecurely and tremulously.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book challenges conventional views of miracles to present a case for worshiping a non-miraculous Christ. The author, once bound to beliefs in the miraculous, narrates their journey from a traditional understanding to a novel perspective on the nature of Christ. They argue that the concept of miracles is incompatible with a reverence for the natural order and is prone to encourage superstition and immorality. Instead, the book proposes that Christ's divinity can be apprehended through faith, understanding, and a re-evaluation of the relationship between imagination and knowledge. By delving into historical and biblical analyses, the author demonstrates how religious truths can emerge from illusion and superstition. Ultimately, this book invites readers to consider that a rational and non-miraculous Christianity is not only possible but also more profound and spiritually fulfilling.
