Présentation de l'éditeur

Diocese of Winchester in the winter of 1917-18 under the auspices of the Diocesan Society for the Promotion of Higher Religious Education. I claim no originality for the book, but the ideas which I have gathered from others I have tried to make a living part of my own thought. I hope that I have sufficiently acknowledged in the footnotes my debt to the authors whose works I have consulted. I am under a particular obligation to the writings of the late Professor Denney, and to J. K. Mozley s The Doctrine of the A tonement, a book replete with historical knowledge, and luminous in its exposition of the various theoriesx)f the Cross. We stand on the threshold of a period of theo logical reconstruction, when fresh interpretation will be given to many old beliefs. The hour is more than ripe for such revision and recasting, which has indeed been going on for some time past in the general mind.
