“The book presents Christian doctrine and Christian character, as both are drawn from the words of the Bible… Throughout the work the aim has been to draw the teachings of the Bible directly from the sacred record itself. Technical theological terms have been introduced only where it has been deemed necessary to make their meaning clear… Whatever aspect of a Biblical doctrine promised to be most helpful to the pupil has been adopted… doctrinal … apologetic… (or) historical." — From the author’s Preface
