Excerpt from God Incarnate The conditions of the Trust under which the fol lowing Lectures were delivered, require that they Should be printed. In no way is there any claim of originality for them. Indeed, the only merit they may have is that they endeavor to express old truths sometimes in modern words, rarely in new language. It will be objected that the subject is too vast for treatment in so small a space. But the object has been to stimulate inquiry within the limits prescribed by the Trust. It is of the utmost importance that the attention of candidates for Holy Orders should be concentrated upon the fundamental doctrine of the Incarnation. At no time has this been of greater importance than at the present moment. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Nobiscum Deus: The Gospel of the Incarnation We may say, in passing, that no reader who will attend to the parallel accounts Of St. Mat thew and St. Mark can fail to note that where the former writes kingdom of heaven, the lat ter writes kingdom of God. Evidently they stand for exactly the same thing, heaven deriving all its significance from the fact of its being viewed as the dwelling-place of God, the realm Where He is all in all. It will be sufficient, therefore, if we study the more common phrase, the kingdom of God. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Incarnate Son of God: Or the History of the Life and Ministry of the Redeemer This is the grand truth, which the following work will be found to establish; - a work which briefly traces the series of preparatory arrangements for the manifestation of the Son of God on earth, - presents, in a continuous narrative, the facts of His life and ministry, His death and resurrection, - and affords a concise view of the mediatorial economy in its principles and its results. It is the hope of the writer, that he has been enabled to cast light on many passages of the New Testament. His endeavour has been, so to follow the sacred historians in their exhibition of Christ, as to realise His teaching and miracles, His sufferings and death. He has sought also to interweave with the narrative brief expositions of some of our Lord's sayings, and to point out the relation of some important incidents to that great mediatorial scheme which He came to accomplish. It would be presumptuous to assume that these pages will supply the place of a commentary on the Gospels; but it is not too much to hope that they will be found to elucidate the evangelical history, and to bring out, in many cases, the deep meaning of the Redeemer's words. To those who are engaged in the religious instruction of the young, the author would especially commend his theme.

Excerpt from The Incarnate Saviour: A Life of Jesus Christ We endeavour to illustrate three main propositions in the following pages. First, Jesus Christ was God and man in two distinct natures and one person. His humanity was true and proper, but through it we see continually gleams of the Godhead. As the Apostle John says in the preface to his Gospel, The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld Hz'sglory. This glory, as we understand the words, was not merely beheld by the apostle in such great and signal manifestations as the transfiguration, the resurrection, and the ascension, - it was beheld more or less clearly even in the lowly actions and the ordinary tenor of His common life and speech. For example, we are told that after one of His miracles the disciples put the question, What manner of man is this? That He was a man they never doubted, yet ever and anon there was something which suggested He was more. The look in His face, the tone in His voice, the work of His hands, constantly startled them.

Excerpt from The Incarnation and Personality The contention is that the Incarnation has elevated human nature by uniting it to God in Christ, that the Incarnation acts not only by way of instruction, not only by way of example, but as a dynamic force. It means that in the economy of God fresh conditions were made in the relation between God and man. This is not to say that the original conditions were a failure on God's side, but that the necessary con dition of human free-will affected the relation on the human side. It does not say that they were bound to be a failure, it only states the historical, ethical, spiritual fact. It may of course be argued that God ought to have foreseen this, but the answer to that is, How do we know that He did not foresee it Even I, with my limited View, may Offer some one a choice of action, and may foresee the choice that he will make. My foresight does not interfere with his freedom of action: he is not obliged to make the particular choice, I do not force him to it. But when it was proved bi? Actual experience that men did not make the right choice, though they ought to have made it, th'en the remedy was found. They failed by humanf weakness, therefore their humanity received an additional strength. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Trinity and the Incarnation Most of those who profess and call them selves Christians, both in this country and in the rest of the world, are in the habit of saying that Jesus Christ is God. This is the current opinion; it is taught by the Church; it is laid down in the Creeds. But if you come to examine the average English man, you will find that he holds this opinion in rather a vague and loose sort of way. He has not thought out exactly what he means by it, nor considered just what it involves. If you asked him whether God is our Heavenly Father, he would almost cer tainly answer 'yes.' If you then asked, Well, then, is jesus Christ our Heavenly Father P he would certainly say No.' But if you went on, Are there, then, two Gods?' he would entirely repudiate the suggestion. So that he carries about with him in his mind these four propositions z - (i jesus Christ is God God is our Heavenly Father' 'jesus Christ is not our Heavenly Father There are not two Gods.' Yet he has never considered how to reconcile these four separate opinions of his together; it probably has not occurred to him that they are inconsistent with one another. His teachers have various methods of harmonising the four opinions, all four of which have been taught to him by them - methods satisfactory or unsatisfactory. But the average English man has not troubled himself with the matter. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Rather it is intended to Show that when the origin and history of man are studied from the scientific, and especially the biological side, the spiritual life, its partial failure, and the need for Atonement, far from receding into vagueness and unreality, are thrown into strong relief.

Excerpt from Incarnation God's manlikeness was fundamental in the Greek mind. Coleridge's phrase the fair humanities of old religions, was right both in its noun and in its adjective for the Greek religion of old. Very human the maidens that glanced in the forest and stream; very human allies haste from the skies to aid the heroes of Homer's tales of battle; and the marble statues that glowed in the shrines of the temples and lined the Greek streets tell What the average Greek would hardly have been sur prised to meet in the flesh. Had he not been brought up on the stories of incarnation and here was the story in marble. That scene in Acts, of the hill-town in Asia Minor, where the two apostles were taken, the old man for Zeus, and the young man for Hermes, and barely escaped from the sacrifice offered them, - and then barely escaped being sacrificed, is, doubtless, a glimpse of the mind of ten. Thousand towns of the time. And. What shall we say to the apotheosis of the Roman emper ors as another glimpse at the incarnation capacities of the time in which Christianity rose It has been de scribed as a popular religion of the provinces in the second century, - that deification of the man who as emperor embodied the power and the majesty of Rome, the God-man of Rome, with altars and temples and priesthoods dedicated to him.
