Our Lord's Teaching

0/5 ( ratings)

Excerpt: This book is of a kind comparatively new, as yet, in our country. Familiar as are our Lord's words in the Gospels, it has not been customary with us to isolate His teaching, or to inquire what and how much we may believe on His own direct authority. Nor have we gone first to Him for the form in which to hold our Christian beliefs. The theology of St. Paul so powerfully affected the Reformers, did so great a work through their means, and has continued so to mould our religious belief that, in reading the Gospels, it has been our unconscious habit to arrange what we found in them according to the system of doctrine which we owe to that great Apostle. In our practice the theology of the Apostle has been taken as primary, that of the Master as secondary. The teaching of Jesus has been greatly hidden behind that of Paul, and we have not been accustomed to see it in the form and outline natural to itself.
