Excerpt from The Way to Life: A Revised and Enlarged Reprint of Those Portions of the Author's Ethics of Jesus, Dealing With the Sermon on the Mount, With a Special Discussion of War and the Teaching of Jesus

The larger part of this little book is an essential reproduction of the last four chapters of the author's Ethics of Jesus. These chapters deal with the Sermon on the Mount as given by Matthew. Most of the footnotes and references to literature are omitted in this reprint, and the treatment is made entirely independent of the argument of the previous volume. The text has thus been entirely reset. There is, also, a little fuller treatment of the fifth and sixth chapters of Matthew. But there is no material change in the content of the reprinted portions of the book. Two chapters have been added, however, on the bearing of the teaching of Jesus upon war.

The chapters dealing with the teaching of Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount are here reprinted separately in answer to repeated requests. They are intended to put one face to face with the central teaching of Jesus.
