| Summary |
"Conscious of having done our utmost to avoid enthusiasm in a matter whose thrilling nature scarcely allows of sedate and mature reflection, and trusting that we shall prove that we have not been carried away by the current of our imagination, we shall begin by attempting to state our conclusions in a few words. A preliminary remark cannot, however, be dispensed with, for it carries with it the whole gist of our undertaking. It is to the effect, that our conclusions, whether right or wrong, are in fixed relation with our knowledge and that they cannot be supposed, when grounded on tradition either symbolical or mythic, to extend beyond that portion of the human race of which such records are extant. In limiting revelation to the knowledge of the existence of God revealed as the Almighty and to be trusted in as such; in finding all in all in that eventful fact, which, cleared from theology, stands forth as the Word or His Name revealed in the attributes which constitute that Word; in maintaining that theology can ground none of her assertions on any other basis than the trust or faith which those attributes have ever inspired, we are fully aware of the clamors such conclusions will excite, not only in the ranks of philosophy, but still more in those of theology"--Chapter.
