God Incarnate Classic Reprint

Excerpt from God Incarnate The conditions of the Trust under which the fol lowing Lectures were delivered, require that they Should be printed. In no way is there any claim of originality for them. Indeed, the only merit they may have is that they endeavor to express old truths sometimes in modern words, rarely in new language. It will be objected that the subject is too vast for treatment in so small a space. But the object has been to stimulate inquiry within the limits prescribed by the Trust. It is of the utmost importance that the attention of candidates for Holy Orders should be concentrated upon the fundamental doctrine of the Incarnation. At no time has this been of greater importance than at the present moment. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Nobiscum Deus: The Gospel of the Incarnation We may say, in passing, that no reader who will attend to the parallel accounts Of St. Mat thew and St. Mark can fail to note that where the former writes kingdom of heaven, the lat ter writes kingdom of God. Evidently they stand for exactly the same thing, heaven deriving all its significance from the fact of its being viewed as the dwelling-place of God, the realm Where He is all in all. It will be sufficient, therefore, if we study the more common phrase, the kingdom of God. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Incarnate Saviour: A Life of Jesus Christ We endeavour to illustrate three main propositions in the following pages. First, Jesus Christ was God and man in two distinct natures and one person. His humanity was true and proper, but through it we see continually gleams of the Godhead. As the Apostle John says in the preface to his Gospel, The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld Hz'sglory. This glory, as we understand the words, was not merely beheld by the apostle in such great and signal manifestations as the transfiguration, the resurrection, and the ascension, - it was beheld more or less clearly even in the lowly actions and the ordinary tenor of His common life and speech. For example, we are told that after one of His miracles the disciples put the question, What manner of man is this? That He was a man they never doubted, yet ever and anon there was something which suggested He was more. The look in His face, the tone in His voice, the work of His hands, constantly startled them.

Excerpt from The Incarnate Son of God: Or the History of the Life and Ministry of the Redeemer This is the grand truth, which the following work will be found to establish; - a work which briefly traces the series of preparatory arrangements for the manifestation of the Son of God on earth, - presents, in a continuous narrative, the facts of His life and ministry, His death and resurrection, - and affords a concise view of the mediatorial economy in its principles and its results. It is the hope of the writer, that he has been enabled to cast light on many passages of the New Testament. His endeavour has been, so to follow the sacred historians in their exhibition of Christ, as to realise His teaching and miracles, His sufferings and death. He has sought also to interweave with the narrative brief expositions of some of our Lord's sayings, and to point out the relation of some important incidents to that great mediatorial scheme which He came to accomplish. It would be presumptuous to assume that these pages will supply the place of a commentary on the Gospels; but it is not too much to hope that they will be found to elucidate the evangelical history, and to bring out, in many cases, the deep meaning of the Redeemer's words. To those who are engaged in the religious instruction of the young, the author would especially commend his theme.

Excerpt from Incarnation God's manlikeness was fundamental in the Greek mind. Coleridge's phrase the fair humanities of old religions, was right both in its noun and in its adjective for the Greek religion of old. Very human the maidens that glanced in the forest and stream; very human allies haste from the skies to aid the heroes of Homer's tales of battle; and the marble statues that glowed in the shrines of the temples and lined the Greek streets tell What the average Greek would hardly have been sur prised to meet in the flesh. Had he not been brought up on the stories of incarnation and here was the story in marble. That scene in Acts, of the hill-town in Asia Minor, where the two apostles were taken, the old man for Zeus, and the young man for Hermes, and barely escaped from the sacrifice offered them, - and then barely escaped being sacrificed, is, doubtless, a glimpse of the mind of ten. Thousand towns of the time. And. What shall we say to the apotheosis of the Roman emper ors as another glimpse at the incarnation capacities of the time in which Christianity rose It has been de scribed as a popular religion of the provinces in the second century, - that deification of the man who as emperor embodied the power and the majesty of Rome, the God-man of Rome, with altars and temples and priesthoods dedicated to him.

Excerpt from God Made Man IN order that we may have a right apprehension of the adorable mystery of the Incarnation, it is meces sary that we Should first form to ourselves some conception of the greatness of God and the lovable ness of the Virgin Mary. To do this adequately is an impossible task, for the finite cannot compass the Infinite, nor can any but her Creator know the full beauty of the most excellent of God's creatures.

Excerpt from The Faith of a Quaker There arise also the insistent questions which beset all mystics, and which in Quakerism demanded a corporate, instead of an individual, answer.
