Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Christ If a book is incapable of expressing its scope and intention with adequate lucidity, it is scarcely in the power of a preface to atone for this inherent defect A preface may, however, do something to define the objects of an author, and it is a recognized vehicle of personal confession. The object of the author is to depict the human life of Jesus as it appeared to His contemporaries, with a purposed negligence, as far as it is possible, of the vexed problems of theology and metaphysics. It is the Man Christ Jesus whom the author has striven to see; and it will be unnecessary to remind the reader that this phrase is St Paul´s. It must, however, be confessed, frankly and at once, that the author has not interpreted the phrase as strictly limitary. It did at one time seem possible to write a life of Christ from the sole point of view of its human grace and efficiency, but the design was soon rejected as entirely incompetent to the theme. The first chapters of the book were scarcely drafted before the story seemed to pass from the author´s hands and to write itself in terms of its own. As the experiment proceeded the mind became more and more an involuntary agent, acting upon instincts which were not based on reason, but were superior to reason.
