1.) A Doubter's Doubts About Science and Religion
      PREFACE SOME of the following chapters we printed in a volume a few years ago. It may be thought perhaps that the criticisms they contain are out of date, now that Spencer-ism is dead and Darwinism discredited. But though biological theories which reigned supreme a few years ago have been abandoned or modified by "men of light and leading," th ...read more

2.) Daniel in the Critic's Den
      DANIEL IN THE CRITICS' DEN PREFACE and CONTENTS ALTHOUGH this volume appears under an old title, it is practically a new work. The title remains, lest any who possess my "Reply to Dean Farrar's Book of Daniel" should feel aggrieved on finding part of that treatise reproduced under a new designation. But the latter half of this book is new; ...read more

3.) Grace Reigns
      "The Gospel of the glory of the blessed God!"3 "Please, show me Your glory," was the prayer of Moses; and God answered, "I will make all My goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion."4 God's highest ...read more

4.) Human Destiny
      PREFACE TO THE SEVENTH EDITION. APPEALS have been received from many quarters for an edition of Human Destiny at a price to bring it within reach of a wider circle of readers. And it has been urged by some that in re-issuing it account should be taken of what has been published on the subject during the seven-and-twenty years since the book was ...read more

5.) Misunderstood Texts of the Bible
      MISUNDERSTOOD TEXTS OF THE BIBLE THE NEW TESTAMENT INTRODUCTORY CHAPTER "I TELL YOU earnestly and authoritatively (I know I am right in this), you must get into the habit of looking intensely at words, assuring yourself of their meaning, syllable by syllable - nay, letter by letter." These words of Ruskin's glaringly exaggerate the worth of ...read more

6.) The Bible or the Church (The Buddha of Christendom)
      THE BIBLE OR THE CHURCH by Sir Robert Anderson PREFACE and Contents. THE subject of these pages is one of the highest interest, and it is only those who are in some way behind the scenes who can judge aright of its peculiar urgency at the present moment. "The greatest achievement in English history" is a distinguished historian's estima ...read more

7.) The Gospel and Its Ministry
      THE GOSPEL AND ITS MINISTRY PREFATORY NOTE TO THE THIRTEENTH EDITION. THE first ten chapters of The Gospel and its Ministry were written some five-and-thirty years ago for a religious "Monthly." When published in book form these chapters were supplemented by a number of appendix notes; and further notes were added from time to time, as new ed ...read more

8.) The Honor of His Name
      THE HONOUR OF HIS NAME Preface and First Chapter. THE title of this book - a quotation from the sixty-sixth Psalm - indicates not only its subject, but its aim and purpose. I have to thank my friend Miss A. R. Habershon for permitting me to use her Concordance of the Lord's names and titles as an Appendix. While Bible students will greatly va ...read more

9.) The Lord From Heaven
      THE LORD FROM HEAVEN PREFACE and CONTENTS Some years ago the Author was asked to mediate between the Committee of one of our Missionary Societies and certain of their younger agents, whose faith had been disturbed by Moslem hostility to the truth of the Sonship of Christ. Though not unversed in the literature on the subject, he could find no ...read more

10.) The Silence of God
      THE SILENCE OF GOD PREFACE TO THE NINTH EDITION IN response to appeals from various quarters this book is once again reissued. Its importance is enhanced by the vagaries of religious thought in our day, and notably by the growth of certain religious movements which claim to be accredited by "miraculous" spiritual manifestations. As the Epi ...read more

11.) The Way
      THE WAY CHAPTER ONE THE scene is laid in the court of a Roman procurator. The occasion is a public trial. The prosecutors are the religious leaders of the Jews. The accused is a man of their own race and creed. Once a true and zealous "son of the Church "- an honoured and trusted disciple of their strictest and most distinguished school - h ...read more

12.) Types in Hebrews
      TYPES IN HEBREWS CHAPTER 1 AUTHORSHIP THE authorship of Hebrews has been a subject of controversy during all the centuries. Was it written by the Apostle whose name it bears in our English Bibles. Or does the honour rest with Luke the Evangelist? The claims of Barnabas and Apollos, and also of Clement of Rome, are championed by writers of ...read more
