Excerpt from Creative Christianity: A Study of the Genius, of the Christian Faith

During Easter Week of this year it was my privilege to deliver the Nathaniel W. Taylor Lectures at the Convocation of the Divinity School of Yale University. I wish hereby to express my thanks to the authorities of the University for the opportunity of setting forth some of my personal views before audiences of an extraordinary character and to my hearers for the patient and sympathetic manner in which they listened to my words. The lectures are here offered to the reading public in the form in which they were originally delivered, except for a slight expansion at a few points. The temptation to extend considerably the discussion of some of the subjects mentioned was very great, but such a course would have necessitated the recasting of the entire work and the substitution of an elaborate exposition of the theme for the merely suggestive treatment that is more natural in the case of lectures. Perchance I may be able at some future time to offer a more exhaustive discussion of important topics only touched upon at this time.

It is proper, perhaps, that this foreword should mention some reasons for the designation of my theme: "Creative Christianity."
