Excerpt from The Temptation of Christ
Christ, without being painfully conscious how far short of their infinite meaning all our thoughts and words ever fall; and no one can feel this, in regard to the present volume, more keenly than myself. If. However, this little book brings any of its readers nearer to Him of Whom it chiefly speaks; if it enables them to feel more deeply the reality of His humanity, and the greatness of the sacrifice and of the struggle He undertook in the redemption of the world; if it helps any soul sore beset of sin to fight more courageously the good fight of the faith, and to rely more trustfully on the sympathy and help of Him, Who in that He Himself sufi'ered being tempted, is able to succour them that are tempted, I shall be thankful that, with whatsoever imperfections, I have been permitted to publish it.

The book explores the complex interplay between divine purpose, the agency of the devil, and human responsibility, revealing how Christ's victory over temptation provides both a model and a source of strength for our own struggles with evil.
