Excerpt from Christianity Is Christ
Christianity is the only religion in the world which rests on the Person of its Founder. A man can be a faithful Mohammedan without in the least concerning himself with the person of Mohammed. So also a man can be a true and faithful Buddhist without knowing anything whatever about Buddha. It is quite different with Christianity. Christianity is so inextricably bound up with Christ that our view of the Pers...
Excerpt from The Work of the Ministry
Occasional repetitions may also provoke comment. The explanation is that the entire substance of the book was not given every year and, so, certain subjects were discussed under two or three different headings. But it is hoped that the prime importance of such topics as Prayer and the Bible will be a sufficient justification of any such repeated treatment.

Excerpt from The Catholic Faith: A Manual of Instruction for Members of the Church of England
While I am of course responsible for the general treatment and conclusions of the Chapter on the Ornaments Rubric in Part III., I am greatly indebted to the criticisms of a friend who does not wish his name mentioned, but whose knowledge of this thorny subject is thorough and reliable.

Excerpt from The Prayers of St. Paul
One of the most valuable elements in the Epistles of St. Paul is their revelation of the writer's spiritual life. While they are necessarily doctrinal and theological, dealing with the fundamental realities of the Christian religion, they are also intensely personal, and express very much of the Apostles own experience. They depict in a marked degree the sources and characteristics of the spiritual life. T...
Excerpt from Genesis I. XXV. 10: A Devotional Commentary
Abraham if the purpose had been to record the ordinary history of an ordinary people, yet inasmuch as Israel was not an ordinary people, but charged with God's purposes for the whole of mankind, it was necessary to show - at least in brief form - the connection between the progenitor of the human race and Abraham, in whom and in whose descendants the Divine purpose was to be realised.

Excerpt from The Holy Spirit of God
The prominence and emphasis given in the New Testa ment to the Holy Spirit are at once the cause and the Vindica tion of these utterances, and we may legitimately argue that the importance of the subject can be rightly measured by the place given to it. Other doctrines of great importance, as, for example, those of the Church and the Sacraments, do not obtain anything like the notice given in the New Testam...
Excerpt from The Apostle John: Studies in His Life and Writings
This volume is intended to help those who are called upon to preach and teach, and on this account the material is set/out largely in outline form. It is a great satisfaction to know that a former book, The Apostle Peter, covering his life and writings, has been found of service to fellow-workers. I hope the present work will be similarly useful, and will also provide an intro du...
