Excerpt from Form and Content in the Christian Tradition: A Friendly Discussion Between W. Sanday and N. P. Williams It should be explained at the outset that the discussion which follows is quite independent of another which I believe will be published in the same external style and at the same time. I happen to be personally a connecting link between the two discussions, and the outward form which they have assumed follows naturally from the subject-matter. But the occasions which gave rise to them are wholly distinct, and the fact that both give expression to views opposed to mine must not be taken to imply any further concert or alliance between my critics. There are really three positions indicated, each of which must stand upon its own merits. The present discussion arose out of an article contributed by me to The Modern Churchman for June 1915, and I am indebted to the editor for permission to reprint it. It had been read just before as an address at a meeting of the Churchmen's Union. The article was written for this meeting under some pressure, and I am afraid rather less quietly than might have been wished. But it seemed right to reprint it practically as it stood because it was in this form that it lay before Mr. Williams, and there may perhaps be some increase in frankness and clearness to set against the fault of over-emphasis. The further course of the discussion will explain itself. We agreed between ourselves that, as the writer of the concluding paper had the last word in the body of the book, the writer of the Preface should have a limited right of final reply, just to remove misunderstandings and to wind up the discussion on any point that might need it. I think I can promise not to abuse this privilege. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
