Excerpt from Christ as a Teacher Christ was a teacher democratic in the largest and best sense - for the people, for all the people, for even the lowest of the people, for all the people alike. If he had not been, our hearts would have turned from him as being unworthy to represent the Being who lighted up that sun, and poured the oceans from his urn.

Excerpt from Christ, the Teacher The following pages were written during the work of a busy itinerant life. During years of preparation for the ministry, and many years teaching in a Christian school, more and more the thought impressed itself that the true ideal was in the great Teacher. This thought is presented in the hope that many may be stimulated to learn of him. The Authorized Version of the Scriptures has been followed, mainly. Conscious of the fact that in relying thereon, many times we may be led into slight inaccuracies, owing to the fact that sometimes the translation introduces figures of speech not in the original, and at other times omits figures found in the original, yet it seemed best for the purpose, in the main, at least, to so do. Besides, to depend upon the Greek text, entirely, would require a textual criticism far beyond the scope and pretense of this volume. The work is intentionally primary, and is designed to lead to a more exhaustive study of the ideal Teacher as a model. It is sincerely hoped that the mingling of the didactic and hortatory styles may not prove objectionable, but, rather, instructive and inspiring. With a desire to enhance the interest of Christ's kingdom among men, and with a feeling akin to that of Justin Martyr, expressed in the saying, "Fain would I, O Son of Mary, have said something great of thee," this work is submitted to the public.

Excerpt from The Life Teaching of Jesus Christ This little book makes no claim to an exhaustive treatment of its great subject, nor even to be an original contribution to it. It is intended as an outline or introduction for those who are beginning the study, and who have no special critical or theological knowledge. The aim throughout has been to summarise the results of modern investigation from the constructive standpoint, and to show that when criticism has had its perfect work enough remains for faith and devotion. The subject is one which raises many problems of which no final solution is possible in the present state of our knowledge. The writer would acknowledge his obligations to many modern writers on the period, to some of whom reference is made in these pages, and among them especially to his old teacher, Dr. Sanday of Oxford, to whom all students of the New Testament owe an incalculable debt.

Excerpt from Jesus the Master Teacher Glover writes in his book, "The Jesus of History" (p. 84): "I have been treating him almost as if he were an authority on pedagogy. Fortunately, he never discussed pedagogy, never used the terms I have been using. But he dealt with men, he taught and he influenced them, and it is worth our study to understand how he did it - to master his methods." In 1906 a volume of bibliography on "Jesus Christ Our Lord" by S. G. Ayers contained five thousand titles. The name of Jesus is more written about than any other in history. Where so much has been written, it is astonishing how little attention has been paid to the pedagogy of Jesus. A few books, like that of Hinsdale, 1895; a few articles, like that by Ellis, 1902; and a few occasional pages in larger works, as in Wendt, these are all. The bibliography at the end of our own accompanying study is conspicuously and suggestively brief. The pedagogy of Jesus is a discovered and staked-out but unworked mine. Let no one try it who is not both a biblical scholar and an educator. The following pages have only scratched the surface and uncovered a few leads. One may well wonder why it is that, though books have been written about education since the Republic of Plato and about Jesus since the gospel of Mark, it is only the present generation that has seen books written about Jesus as an educator.

Excerpt from The Teaching of Jesus, Concerning the Christian Life He was right. Some men do not give religion any place in their lives. They think they can do without it. They have other aims which they consider higher, or to which they give more care ful attention. Others seek religion and hold it in esteem, but they do not make it the principal thing. They think more of something else. Religion has a place in their lives, as they suppose, but it is a low place, an Obscure corner. It does not come to the front. But those who give religion no place or a low place in their lives not only act contrary to their own reason and higher impulses, but they violate the Whole spirit of revelation, and especially the definite and repeated teachings and commands and expostula tions of Jesus.

Excerpt from The Teaching of Christ The declaration with which this introductory study is prefaced was made by impartial, and probably, indifferent men, after listening to some of the things that Jesus said. Earlier in the chapter we find this statement: "The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning Him; and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to take Him." The outcome was - "The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why did ye not bring Him? The officers answered, Never man so spake." I make use of these words of the officers, whatever they intended by them, as a declaration of my conviction that the words of Christ were not the words of a merely human teacher. My purpose in this series of meditations is to consider His teaching on some of the great themes of supreme interest to men, and I propose to do that in the simplest way possible. Let it be understood that we start on the assumption that the New Testament view of the Person of Christ is to be accepted as true. I am not proposing a study of the words of Jesus, in order to lead to Christ. I rather desire to lead those who have already found Christ to a study of His words.
