Excerpt from The Unique Message and the Universal Mission of ChristianityIt is fitting that I should say that the convictions which impelled this study took possession of me several years ago in the line of pastoral duty, in struction and responsibility, and that most of the material was then accumulated and much that is found in these pages was written. In the hope that the time would come when the privileges of leisure and research would again be mine and this study might be made more worthy and profitable, the manuscript has laid in a drawer of my neglected desk, receiving an occasional emendation and addi tion as the result of new light from some new book which I have read en route to and fro on secretarial duty and occasional hours snatched, usually from the all too few evenings spent at home, for work of th1s sort. As there is little prospect of leisure in which to better fulfill my ambition and give these thoughts better form, I give them as they are to an indulgent public.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
