Excerpt from The Incarnation: Lectures Delivered Before the Summer School for Clergy at King's College, Windsor, N. S., 1913

The promise to Abraham, as Saint Paul reminds us, singles out one among the descendants of the Father of the faithful.

Thus, from the beginning men are taught to look for One of their race who as leader and re presentative should battle Victoriously with the opposing power and win back the lost Eden. When once the line of His descent is made clear, the special characteristics of the Deliverer assume prominence as He is regarded now from one view point, now from another. He is to be one of your brethren, a Prophet, Who shall receive and disclose a Revelation of God as full, and as fully sanctioned, as that which the terrifying Voice declared from Mount Sinai.

Excerpt from The Incarnation: Lectures Delivered Before the Summer School for Clergy at King's College, Windsor, N. S., 1913

But when these are granted, we must set ourselves to answer the question "how did (and does) God reveal Himself?" Let us go back to the record of beginnings. And first we note that we quote Genesis and all Scripture without any apology to Science. Science concerns itself with efficient and mechanical causes and makes no pretence of being interested in final causes. Theology does deal with final causes and refers us to her sacred records. Turning to those records, it is most significant that the phrase "after its kind" has no place in the record of man's beginning. There the Creator's decree is "in our image, after our likeness." Of man only is it thus suggested that there is given a capacity to know God - a power to respond to divine attraction. It is to man only that God is represented as speaking - man only can be the recipient and instrument of divine Revelation. We do not go so far as to say that other creatures have no consciousness of God. An explicit denial is perhaps impossible in the face of Saint Paul's emphatic words about the expectation of the creature which is subjected to vanity in hope of a future deliverance. But we do say that God's revelation of Himself is shown to be to man and through man.
