Excerpt from Christian Theology in Outline
Christian faith appear when regarded from the modern, that is to say, the scientific, point of view. This question the book which follows attempts to answer. While I have everywhere studied brevity, I have tried not to carry con densation so far as to interfere with clearness. The spirit in which I have sought to write is suggested by the opening quotation from William Ames, a theologian who, in the clear ness of his insight that the final test of truth is practice, suggests the genial modern philosopher with whose name his own has so many letters in common.

Excerpt from Christian Theology in Outline
The book which follows owes its origin to a practical purpose. It is the outgrowth of the authors experience as a teacher of theology, and is the attempt to meet a definite need which that experience disclosed, - that, namely, of a brief handbook, at once scientific and constructive, in which the subject-matter of Christian theology should be treated from the modern point of view, and the new conceptions and ideals which have been more or less consciously affecting Christian theology should be set forth in their inner consistency, and in their true relation to their antecedents in the past.
A considerable part of the material which the book contains was originally given to my students in the form of type-written notes, and has been tested by repeated use in the classroom. With the exception of the chapter on the Trinity, however, a part of which was included in an address delivered before the Alumni of the Union Theological Seminary, and since published under the title, "The Trinity and Modern Thought: An Experiment in Theological Reconstruction," no part of the matter here offered has appeared in print. The change of form has given a welcome opportunity of revision and enlargement. While the original purpose of the book as a textbook for the theological classroom has been strictly adhered to, I have not been unmindful of the wider public who are interested in theological questions.
