The Most That One Of Jewish Faith

The Nineteenth Century Spread Of Christianity Was Due Primarily To A New Burst Of Religious Life Emanating From The Christian Impulse. . . . Never In Any Corresponding Length Of Time Had The Christian Impulse Given Rise To So Many New Movements. Never Had It Had Quite So Great An Effect Upon Western European Peoples. It Was From This Abounding Vigor That There Issued The Missionary Enterprise Which During The Nineteenth Century So Augmented The Numerical Strength And The Influence Of Christianity.

That Free Will Was Demonstrated In The Placing Of Temptation Before Man With The Command Not To Eat Of The Fruit Of The Tree Which Would Give Him A Knowledge Of Good And Evil, With The Disturbing Moral Conflict To Which That Awareness Would Give Rise.

The Prophets And The Writers Of The Psalms Were Clear That God Was Continuing To Work In The Universe And In All History. They Declared That He Had Created The Universe.

The Primary Source Of The Appeal Of Christianity Was Jesus - His Incarnation, His Life, His Crucifixion, And His Resurrection.

The History Of Christianity, Therefore, Must Be Of Concern To All Who Are Interested In The Record Of Man And Particularly To All Who Seek To Understand The Contemporary Human Scene.
