A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Preface This book, the fruit of many years of patient and faithful study, is Intended for the people, but not for the ignorant and thoughtless. It assumes that the majority of readers in this age are neither thoughtless nor ignorant. It is written in the spirit of the lamented Hugh Miller, who declared that it had been his aim to write ujp to the people, and not down to them. I have not, therefore, deemed it necessary to ignore those great questions touching the person and work of Christ, which now engage the attention, not only of theologians but of philosophers and scholars. The age-long controversy concerning supernaturalism has, in our time, extended far beyond the closets of solitary thinkers, far beyond the cloisters and lecture-rooms of the universities, and enlists, not only the startled curiosity, but the anxious concern of millions. The day seems close at hand, when the final decision of mankind on the gospel of Christ, will be pronounced. I have not hesitated to grapple with this mighty problem, and to offer what seems to me the only rational solution. I have therefore devoted the first part of the book to the discussion of miracles and other topics connected with the credibility of the gospels. I venture to hope that my readers will find this discussion neither unintelligible nor unlnterestinfT. The predominant design of the book, however, is not to meet the arguments and cavils of rationalistic assailants of Christianity, but rather to set forth in as clear and graphic a style as possible, the great events of our Lord searthly history, and the scope and substance of His wondrous sayings and discourses.
