Excerpt from The Testimony of St. Paul to Christ: Viewed in Some of Its Aspects The following pages, whilst they make no pretension to exhaust a great subject, represent an earnest endeavour to emphasise the permanent interest and significance of St. Paul's testimony to Christ. It may perhaps seem needless to have referred from time to time to the theories of Dr. Van Manen, but two reasons for this may be given: (1) that an attempt has been made to deal with such theories at first hand; (2) that these theories have not only been popularised in Germany during the past year by a certain Pastor Kalthoff, but also in England by J. M. Robertson in Pagan Christs, and by the publications of the Rationalist Press Association. With regard to the second series, it may be well to add that the testimony of St. Paul to the facts and teaching of the Gospels is worked out on lines different from those pursued in the Witness of the Epistles, as it is here considered in relation to each group of the Apostle's letters. The last chapter of the whole book is devoted to the study of some recent literature which has appeared during the writer's tenure of the Boyle Lectureship, and it has seemed best to treat such literature with some fulness, as it has been of marked importance.
