Book Description

Excerpt from The Christian View of God and the World as Centring in the Incarnation: Being the Kerr Lectures for 1890-91 These Lectures, the first on the Kerr Foundation, are published in fulfilment of the conditions of the Trust under which they were delivered. Their publication has been delayed owing to the author's appointment to the Chair of Church History in the Theological College of the United Presbyterian Church, at the Synod of May, 1891. They have now been made ready for the press under the burden of labour and anxiety connected with the preparation of a second Winter's course. This may excuse the minor over sights which, in handling so large a mass of material, must inevitably occur. The Lectures are printed substantially as delivered in the spring of 1891 - the chief exception being that portions of the Lectures which had to be omitted in the spoken delivery, through the limits of time, are here restored in their proper connection. Material which could not conveniently be incor porated in the Lectures has been wrought up into Appendices and N otes. The latter are designed to furnish, not simply references to authorities, but illustrations, corroborations, and what may be termed generally assonances of thought, drawn from a wide range of literature, which it is hoped Will aid the reader who is disposed to pursue his study of the subject further, by guiding him to the best sources of knowledge. Since the Lectures were delivered, important books have appeared, both in this country and on the con tinent, dealing with parts or aspects of the field here traversed.
