A Short History of Our Religion: From Moses to the Present Day

This book has been written primarily as a contribution towards that most difficult undertaking, the teaching of ‘Divinity.’ The teaching this subject has, presumably, two closely correlated aims: first, it would seek, on the purely intellectual level, to give a clear idea of the nature of the Christian religion and its historical development and achievement; secondly, it would seek to create, as a result of this purely intellectual process, a sense of the overwhelming importance of Christianity and its continuous and increasing vitality. The latter aim will not perhaps be pursued directly in the class-room, but its achievement would result spontaneously from the achievement of the former aim.
