Description

I am aware that, while some readers will approve what I say in this book, others even among those who will agree in its conclusions, may deprecate my treatment of the life of Jesus. All sorts of familiar traditions tend subtly to prevent men who have been reared in the Christian faith from saying frankly what they think about its founder, and often forbid them to ask seriously what they do think. Many good people fear that the plain truth, if faced or uttered, may hurt the cause of religion, if not for themselves at least for others.My intent in this little book is altogether positive, ethical and constructive. I have a firm faith that the search for the truth, if only modest and reverent, is always a wholesome and necessary means of moral and spiritual development. I have the same faith in the fearless utterance of the truth. The very effort to tell the truth and report exactly what we find is good for us. Let each lover of the truth do this and we open our minds to the light. There can be no subject too sacred to throw all the light possible upon it. Who can imagine the actual Jesus as wishing anyone to evade the question: What think ye of Christ?A wonderful process of the re-examination of all the evidences of religion has been going on for more than a century. A mass of cumbersome and cruel dogmas has been swept away. The churches that still profess to hold them no longer take them seriously. The Bible has been reclaimed from a book of mystery to its natural place in the literature of the world. It is the story of the growth of man's moral and religious life. Its noble teachings were never so clear as now when we see the whole work in its real perspective. The lasting foundations of religion, as laid in the nature of man, and built upon by the noble lives and deeds of each new generation, were never so conspicuous as now. With every fresh utterance of the men who give us their innermost thought about religion, there has come in spite of the fears of the timid, a new pressure to rest back upon the enduring foundations out of which the good life forever springs into being. Call this, if you like, an age of question and doubt. It is' also an age of faith; - faith in truth, faith in progress, faith in God and a good universe, growing faith in the humanity of every race; and color...
