Excerpt from Outlines of Christian Dogma

In the following pages the author has attempted to supply such an account of the Christian religion as may afford to those who are not students of technical theology a clear and systematic idea of the chief tenets of the Faith. It has been his aim to be, as far as possible, uncontroversial. He has sought to state facts rather than to defend theories. The book is the outcome of a conviction that one of the great needs of the present time is accurate knowledge, on the part of those who have not opportunity for deep study, of what historical Christianity really is. That the great Christian dogmas have been tried through many centuries and have stood the test of time, alike in relation to thought and as the support of life, is, to say no more, a most significant fact.

It is hoped that some parts of the book, and especially the notes which are printed separately at the end, may be of use to theological students also. For them, too, it may well be thought that, among the many demands which are made upon their time, knowledge of what is, and what is not, the historical religion of the Christian Church is not the least important of their needs.
