Excerpt from The Theology of Modern Literature The accomplished authoress of Isabel Carnaby very truly remarks, that every writer is an evangelist of some sort. The gospel of which some of our outstand ing writers of the present day are the evangelists, the truths or errors, as the case may be, of which they are the proclaimers and dispensers, are in these pages indicated and commented on. The writer desires it to be understood that the word theology throughout this volume is used in an elastic and accommodating sense, embracing not only what is usually understood by theology proper, but also the elements of morality, and religious teaching in general. In conclusion, the writer has only to express his sense of inadequacy and shortcoming in the execution of his design. He is as deeply sensible as the most exact ing of his critics can be that his abilities have not always matched the magnitude and importance of his theme. His attempt has only been to say some things which others could have said far more ably, but which as yet they have refrained from saying. If he has failed, his failure may at least be attended with the compensation that it may perhaps bring others into the field who will succeed. If the book shall prove the precursor of something more satisfactory than itself, the author will not grudge the time and labour he has expended on it. But whatever its imperfections, and whatever reception may be accorded it, it is now sent forth in the service of Him who accepteth a man accord ing to what he hath, and not according to what he hath not.

Excerpt from The Failure of Theology in Modern Literature The title OF this book IS shamelessly negative. IT had its origin on an occasion when I heard Paul Scherer say that every Christian doc trine has its secular counterpart. I wondered if that is true of literature. Could such a statement be documented by the great literary works of our time? This book is my answer. Begun on a negative bias, it never overcame it. At least, not completely. In a way, I am glad it did not, for otherwise it would have ended by coming at the subject by the same route traveled by so many authors writing on the subject of theology and literature. This, dear reader, will at least be different. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Theology of a Modern Methodist That alert, well-groomed, virile man is a commercial traveler and a trustee in the church. He has none of the swagger and little of the slang of the old-time drummer. He wears the blue button of the Gideons on his lapel and is alive in every drop of his red, tingling blood. He is worth knowing. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The New Theology This book has been undertaken at the request of number of my friends who feel that recent criticisms of what has come to be called New Theology ought to be dealt with in some comprehensive and systematic way. With this suggestion my own judgment concurs, but only so far as my own pulpit teaching is concerned. I cannot pretend to speak for anyone else, and therefore this monograph must not be understood as an authoritative exposition of the views held and expounded by other preachers who may be in sympathy with the New Theology. From its very nature, as I hope the following pages will show, the New Theology cannot be a creed, but its adherents have a common stand point. My only reason for calling this book by that title is that a considerable section of the public at present persists in regarding me as in a special way the exponent of it; indeed from the correspondence which has been proceeding in the press it is evident that many people credit me with having invented both the name and the thing.

Excerpt from Modern Theology and the Preaching of the Gospel In the fall of 1911 the writer was invited by the Congregationalists of Washington to deliver a series of theological lectures at their State Conference at Seattle. The lectures which form the first four and the last of the chapters which follow were given in response to this invitation. In 1913 they were repeated, with the addition of a sixth lecture (the fifth of the present series), at the Preachers' Institute of the Southern Methodists at Georgetown, Texas. The first, third, fourth, and fifth lectures were also given at the Preachers' Institute at Fayette, Missouri, in the same year.

Excerpt from The Bible and Modern Thought For a man to profess beliefs which his heart and mind do not endorse is, in their eyes, akin to sacrilege and degrades and darkens the man's own soul. Hence to-day, when Bible or creed contradict verified facts of science, history, or conscience, man's heart pulls in one direction, his head in another. He feels acutely the wrench of breaking with his Old creed, but his principles forbid him to force his head to keep step with his heart when the two clash.

Excerpt from The Republic of God: An Institute of Theology The being of God is the precedent and the postulate of the thought of God. It is the ground in man of his conscious life. From the beginning, and with the growth of the human consciousness, there is the consciousness of the being of God, and of a relation to God. Man is conscious of the being of the external world, and lives and acts in this consciousness, and the being of the external world so comes to be apprehended by him. And, further, man is conscious of the being of God, and lives and acts in this consciousness, and the reality of the being of God so comes to him.

Excerpt from A Treatise on Mercersburg Theology: Or, Mercersburg and Modern Theology Compared The want of a Church literature of our own, has long since been felt, and become a matter of deep concern. There are good reasons why this feeling should exist in the German Reformed Church, and should make itself heard and understood. It means something more than a desire simply for books written by ministers of our own Church. It is a longing for more, in the various departments of religious literature, of that better nature and quality, which can alone be produced by that peculiar mode of thinking, which underlies our distinctive theology. That is what the feeling means and wants, if rightly interpreted. If we were of the same mind with other surrounding denominations, the case would be different. There would then be little room or occasion for such a feeling. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Place of Christ in Modern Theology Has placed constructive thought in a more advantageous position than it has ever before occupied in the history of the Christian Church. It has done this by making our knowledge more historical and real, and so bringing our thought face to face with fact. But, for the Christian theologian, the most significant and assured result of the critical process is, that he can now stand face to face with the historical Christ, and conceive God as He conceived Him. What God signified to Jesus Christ He ought to signify to all Christian Churches; and here all can find a point from which to study themselves and their systems. Theology as well as astronomy may be Ptolemaic; it is so when the interpreter's Church, with its creeds and traditions, is made the fixed point from which he observes and conceives the truth and kingdom of God. But theology may also be Copernican; and it is so when the standpoint of the interpreter is, as it were, the consciousness of Jesus Christ, and this consciousness where it is clearest and most defined, in the belief as to God's Fatherhood and His own Sonship. Theology in the former case is geocentric, in the latter heliocentric; and only where the sun is the centre can our planetary beliefs and Churches fall into a system which is but made the.
