Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Christian Faith Under Modern Searchlights There is, however, I am confident, a large class of men in and out of the Church who would welcome a clear statement of the case of Christianity in the light of current debate and to men Of this class I have great pleasure in com mending the present volume. The merit of these lectures consists largely in the fact that the author takes a comprehensive survey Of the latest phases of anti-christian thought, that he has a firm hold upon the cen tral and vital questions involved in the great debate, and that he does not allow himself to be hampered by dealing needlessly with side issues. He is keen and penetrating in his criticism of those who belittle the evidence in support of re vealed religion, and generous, sometimes to a fault, in his appreciation of writers with whose dominant ideas he has but scant sympathy. Of his learning and logical acumen there is no doubt and his fairness in controversy is above reproach. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Christian Faith Under Modern Searchlights It was my good fortune to hear the lectures contained in this volume when they were given in the Miller Chapel of Princeton Theological Seminary. The high estimate I then formed of them has since been enhanced by the reading of the proof-sheets. Professor Johnson is a well-trained student of philosophy and for some years has been professionally engaged in the teaching of New Testament criticism. He may therefore be trusted as a competent judge of the issues that are raised by anti-Christian thought in the two great fields of contemporary controversy. The only view of Christianity worth contending for in any serious way is that which regards it as a supernatural revelation. The author states his own position in the first lecture. This position is antagonized by those who hold a naturalistic or pantheistic view of the world and also by those who, whatever may be their philosophy, are using the weapons of historical criticism to discredit miraculous Christianity.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Faith of a Modern Christian Claims are admitted by ourselves or not, they are the kind of claims which the Bible makes for itself, and which Jesus and His Apostles made for the older Scriptures in their own day. The Bible, on the face of it, professes to be the record of an historical revelation of the most distinctly super natural character a Thus saith the Lord pervades it from beginning to end; it is structural in character; the Old Testament fulfils itself in the New law and prophets.

Download or read book The Christian Faith and the New Day Classic Reprint written by Cleland Boyd Mcafee and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-28 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Christian Faith and the New Day This is not a reconstruction of theology but a plea for that work and some suggestion of a few typical points where it is needed and opportune. A teacher of theology shrinks a bit when it is said that the day for theology is over; he is apt to think in stead that the day has just come for vital religion which will mean a vital theology. But such a teacher knows well that theology can be devitalized by mistaking its own expressions for the truth it is trying to express. Visitors to theological seminaries often tell young men they are not to preach their theology, Whereas in any sound way of speaking it is the only thing they are to preach. Yet the most deadly thing that could be preached is a theology that does not carry the message of religion for its own day. The appeal herein is not to technical theologians but to working ministers and thoughtful laymen who, after all, build and use. The theology that is living and who sometimes fear to see it change. The great days just passed have given many of us a renewed assurance that Christianity is more vital and forceful than it has been for many a long day. Its vitality may well claim the right to phrase itself anew - which means to reconstruct theology at any point where it may need reconstructing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Increase of Faith The following work treats of the infancy, growth, and maturity of Christian Faith. The doctrine on which it is founded, namely, that faith in Christ (like the Chris tian life upon the whole) admits of gradual progress from less to more perfect develop ment - may almost be said to be unknown to the science of Theology. If, however, this doctrine is not found in a definite and systematic form in the ordinary systems of doctrinal Christianity, it appears to be uni formly recognised by every writer of any authority, as one which enters essentially into the teaching of Holy Scripture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manual of the Christian Faith Able? The Bible, indeed, teaches such truths, and Should be chiefly studied, but they need to know that it is the Word of God and what it teaches. Such knowledge is usually very imperfect, and can be more easily acquired by learning what others have already learned, provided each one thinks and reasons for himself, and carefully distinguishes truth from error. Yet it can scarcely be expected that many in these days will study or even read such systems of Theol ogy as are chiefly designed for ministers, composing several volumes, or, at least, a large volume. There fore the author has been led to prepare a small volume designed to teach the essential and more im portant truths of religion, so that they can be more easily learned. He supposes that the views presented are much the same that all evangelical Christians. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Doctrine of the Person of Jesus Christ Classic Reprint written by H. R. Mackintosh and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-12 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Doctrine of the Person of Jesus Christ That there is a main stream, that the authors of the New Testament are eventually one in their view of Christ, with a unity which is powerful enough to absorb and subdue their differences Of interpretation, is not indeed to be lightheartedly assumed. But it is rendered ex tremely probable by the simple experimental fact that the Church has always found it possible to nourish her faith in the Redeemer from every part of the apostolic writings. Further, this natural presumption is vindicated by a closer scrutiny of the facts. Two certainties are shared in common by all New Testament writers: First, that the life and consciousness of Jesus was in form com pletely human; second, that this historic life, apprehended as instinct with the powers of redemption, is one with the life of God Himself. In Christ they find God personally present for our salvation from sin and death. Yet in spite or rather because of this basal agreement it is the more impressive to contemplate the sovereign freedom with which they surveyed Christ, telling what they saw in books which have been quite justly described as literature, not dogma. Each looked at Jesus with his own eyes; each Spoke out of his own mind; and to force their words about Him into a mechanical and external harmony is simply to misconceive the genius of Christian faith.

Download or read book The Pious Christian s Faith and Hope Classic Reprint written by John Whitehead and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-15 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pious Christian's Faith and Hope Such is now the condition of the Earth. Yet int-he Earth, among the pious Christians, as God has declared, there is a tenth which shall be saved. It is as when an oak or a teel tree is dead. And withered, and all its leaves are fallen, yet there is some green, some life in it. So there is a holy seed in the earth, the substance thereof, and while the greater number of the Earth will remain firm in their strong delu sions and become more obstinate than ever in their idolatry and deceit, these shall return to the Lord their God from whom they have departed. Thus it is with the Earth the pious Christians, professors of the heavenly truth, whom God had highly favoured and watered with His word, who have departed from the truth, turning it upside down, teaching the very reverse of the truth and calling it the truth, yet in it there is a tenth who shall return to God, and when it re turns shall be saved. But with the Sea, with those who have never professed to worship God only, and to trust in his power and grace only - with the Sea, who have not known nor professed in falsehood and deceit the doctrine of God, not saying they trusted in God only while their trust was in man only - with these it will fare better than with the Earth. God will have great mercy upon a great num ber of them, more by far than a tenth of them shall he turned unto God and be filled with everlasting joy and glad ness, for an abundance of the sea. Shall be conuerted unto God, as God hath spoken by His prophets who spake of this time. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Faith in Christ We have invented new instruments for our science, more revolutionary in their way than the steam-engine and the motor car. We have developed new processes of thought, more revolutionary still. We have shifted our point of view from its previous proud position at the centre of the universe to a very modest location on a satellite of one of an innumerable con glomeration of suns. Altogether we have achieved for ourselves a new world more radically than if we had packed our baggage and migrated to Mars. One need not be surprised, therefore, if the ancient theologies seem to the ordinary man of to-day, not merely unsatisfactory, which would be bad enough, but uninteresting.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Browning and the Christian Faith: The Evidences of Christianity From Browning's Point of View A few words of personal explanation seem called for in offering this work to the notice of the public. It is always painful to obtrude one's private concerns on the attention of the outside world, and as I have no claim whatever to invite that attention to matters of my own history, I feel great diffidence in making public circumstances that, it may be said, cannot in any way interest anybody but myself. As my only object in doing so is the hope that I may help some readers of these pages whose experiences may have been similar to my own, I ask a lenient consideration of the following scrap of autobiography. Twenty years ago, after a long course of reading the works of Agnostic teachers, I ceased to believe in the fundamental doctrines of Christianity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Faith's Certainties A complaint or criticism of the preaching of the present day is that it is lacking in the notes of conviction and authority. The same complaint might be made of the attitude of many in the Christian community towards the faith. It is 'like people, like priest.' The reason in each case is not far to seek. The people have been unsettled by the critical spirit which prevails. With every fact, doctrine, personality, put into the witness-box and questioned and cross-questioned, they are left uncertain as to what is trustworthy and what is untrustworthy, uncertain if there is anything to be sure of at all. But not only so, they become suspicious of the man who ventures to treat some points as settled, and demands adhesion to them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heathenism Under the Searchlight: The Call of the Far East Many students have recently formulated various opinions as to the main motives of the new Chinese policy. Probably the only legitimate conclusion is that, as all human motives are mixed, so it is in this case. Fear of foreign aggression and of piratical partition by the Great Powers which have been carving up continents for appropriation and annexation is surely a potent factor. But the Providence of God had anticipated the ways of the leaders of the nations, by raising up pioneers of a new moral and spiritual polity, long in advance of the move ments of carnal and secular competitors for influence over the venerable nationality. The twentieth century began with the tremendous awakening of new political forces in China and Japan; but the nineteenth century had commenced with the vast uprising of the system of modern missions which inaugurated a new Pentecost. China is starting to its feet to stand up for its inde pendence; but the Bible translated into its own tongue is the first object that it grasps with its newly nerved hands. China for Christ! Is the cry of China's own native Christian Church, born under the blessed auspices of nineteenth-century missionary enterprise, and baptized at the close of that century in the blood of Chinese Christian martyrs. Those who have studied the history of nations well understand that when any community has had its religious Reformation before its political Revolution, the nation has been saved. If the Revolution comes first, with fire and blood, the Reformation is likely to fail. Britain accepted the Reformation, and so it passed safely through revolutionary throes afterwards. France fatally reversed the order. Now the most crucial problems of welt-politik have their focus in the Far East. Is China to be civilised before it is Christianised? The great Churches of the West have decided that this must not be permitted. A Far Eastern national Renaissance without the grace of God is an appalling contingency. The object of this booklet is to prove the truth of this proposition. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Faith of a Christian Religious thinking is no longer confined to the theologian, it has become general amongst all classes of the people. The technical expressions of the schools have to give way to the idiom of the market, the shop, and the office. Theology, therefore, must be translated into the idiom of the people, if the faith upon which it is based is to continue to influence the life of the present. Much apologetics might have been saved had more translation been attempted. The apology Christianity should chiefly aim at, is that which is sure to come from the man who is con vinced that he has misunderstood it. Idiomatic translation of Christian theology is the best defence of the faith. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
