Excerpt from Tutors Unto Christ: Introduction to the Study of Religions
There are many books on the subjects dealt with in this volume, and if it were only a reproduction of their contents, it would not have been written. My own experience in lecturing to students preparing for the mission-field and my conversations with those who are interested in missionary education have forced on me the conviction that there is need and so room for a book written from the special standpoint and for the distinctive purpose of this volume. The danger of the students I have in View is that in their study, to use a homely phrase, 'they may not see the wood for the trees they may lose their way among details, and miss essentials. They need a guide and a guide for the course which will lead them to the goal they seek. No other book I know does exactly what I have at least tried to do, with what measure of failure or success it is for others to judge. I have written as one who believes, heart and soul, in the foreign mission enterprise, and gives it such help as he can but I trust I have put down nothing in prejudice or partiality, although nothing with in difference.
The purpose of the volume necessarily determines the treatment. I trust the volume is not unscholarly.
