Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Person of Christ in Modern Thought: The First Series of Donnellan Lectures for the Year 1911-1912
The present volume contains the First Series of Donnellan Lectures for the year 1911-1912. The Second Series on The Work of Christ in Modern Thought will, it is hoped, be submitted to the public in a year's time.
The Reformed Churches are now in a very similar position to the mediaeval Churches at the beginning of the Sixteenth Century. The new learning and the discovery of America had opened up whole vistas of knowledge, the very existence of which had never entered into the minds of the creative theologians of mediaeval times, and the difference between the Renaissance and the theological worldviews was pain fully apparent. Only the experimental exposure of the moral impotence of secularism enabled the advocates of Christian faith to get a hearing. Even then, the restatement in terms of the new thought and learning of the truth as it is in Jesus by the great creative theologians of the Sixteenth Century alone could regain for Christianity its legitimate dominance over the intellects as well as the hearts of men.
