Inhaltsangabe:

Excerpt from Personal Elements in Religious Life<br/><br/>A word as to the origin of these papers will perhaps be the best preface. In 1912, at the University of Nanking, in China, the author was asked to give a series of addresses on the attitude of modern scholarship toward Christianity. The material, hurriedly compiled at that time, suggested the idea of a more thorough statement. Two years later the Young Women's Christian Association asked for a series of six addresses on Fundamentals at their Southern Confer ence at Blue Ridge. The hunger with which the nearly six hundred delegates heard these statements, together with scores of personal interviews with those eagerly seeking fur ther light, led one to believe that there was great need for a simple statement of these basic ideas Of Christianity. This response at the women's conference brought a request from the leaders of the men's conference that these addresses be given in part for that gathering in 1915. Since then many colleges have asked for certain presentations along this view of thought: The chapters here given are not addresses, but written statements growing out of these addresses.
