Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from What Must We Do to Be Saved?: A Lecture
IF what is known as the Christian Religion is true, nothing can be more wonderful than the fact that Matthew, Mark and Luke say nothing about salvation by faith; that they do not even hint at the doctrine of the atonement, and are as silent as empty tombs as to the necessity of believing any thing to secure happiness in this world or another.
For a good many years it has been claimed that the writers of these gospels knew something about the teachings of Christ, and had, at least, a general knowledge of the, conditions of salvation. It now seems to be substantiated that the early Christians did not place implicit confidence in the gospels, and did not hesitate to make such changes and additions as they thought proper. Such changes and addi tions are about' the only passages in the New Test ament that the Evangelical Churches now consider.
