To the President and Theological Faculty of Oberlin College I em under a twofold debt of gratitude. In the first place, When in 1915 they honoured me With an invite, tion to be a Haskell Lecturer and suggested for topic The Originality of the Christian Message,' they opened up for me afresh a singularly fruitful field of inquiry, the captivating interest of Which went to alleviate the distrae tions and anxieties arising out of the Great War. I regret exceedingly that an engagement taken for 1917 had for obvious reasons to be postponed to 1920.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the unique contributions of Christianity to the history of religious thought. It examines how the Christian message, as found in the New Testament, stands out from other religious traditions. The author argues that Christianity is not a patchwork of other religions but a new and original faith. He challenges the idea that pre-Christian religions adequately addressed the human condition, highlighting how Christianity introduced novel concepts of God, salvation, and personal fulfillment in Jesus Christ. The book delves into the historical and cultural context of Christianity's emergence, contrasting it with other major religious systems such as Judaism, Hellenism, and Oriental mystery cults. Through a comparative study of religious ideas, the author demonstrates how Christianity advanced human understanding of God's nature, emphasized the importance of personal faith and moral living, and provided a powerful catalyst for social change. Ultimately, the book presents a compelling case for Christianity's enduring significance, arguing that its essential message remains a vital source of truth and inspiration in a world still grappling with the fundamental questions of human existence.
