Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Exploratio Evangelica: A Brief Examination of the Basis and Origin of Christian Belief It is perhaps clue to readers of this book that I should here enter into a brief explanation of its purport, and the conditions under which it is written. It is essentially the work of a layman. The writer has felt acutely the stress of the revived interest in the problems of theology and religion which marks our age and country. And having, in the quieter intervals of a life mainly devoted to the study of ancient history and archæology, arrived at certain views in regard to the psychology and the history of religion, lie has by degrees thrown some of these views into the form of a treatise on the origin of Christianity. He speaks for himself alone, having no claim to represent a school, either at Oxford or elsewhere. The present work cannot fairly be called destructive; nor is it primarily constructive, but rather critical. It may perhaps most appropriately be compared to the operations which precede construction, to the investigation of the ground and the digging of trenches with a view to foundations. It is of the nature of Prolegomena. Hence it is written for students; and I have not tried to make its style attractive; I have aimed only at clearness and precision. In a field so imperfectly lighted and so full of pitfalls it is a gain if one can move at all. Hence the title Exploratio Evangelica.
