Excerpt from New Theology SermonsMost of the sermons contained in this volume have been preached from the City Temple pulpit during the last twelve months. Some of them bear directly upon the New Theology controversy which broke out early in January of the present year. They contain little or nothing of a directly controversial character, but they may be of interest to the general reader as a practical demonstration of the way in which the principles of the New Theology, as expounded by the present writer, find a homiletic application. It is sometimes contended by its critics that the New The ology is not a gospel. There is no other gospel: the New Theology is Christianity stripped of its mis chievous dogmatic accretions. That it is able to make its appeal to conscience and heart as well as to the intellect is surely demonstrable from the fact that it can be preached, and that people are moved to purer and nobler living by means of it. Wherever and whenever the preaching of any other kind of theology succeeds in doing this it is because it applies the principles of the New Theology without knowing it. The name matters little, and perhaps it is to be regretted that it was ever used, the thing itself is as old as Christianity.It is frequently pointed out by assailants of the New Theology that its adherents do not agree in their presentation of it. Do adherents of older theologies agree? It is a patent fact that they do not, and it is also a patent fact that they are all a wretched failure the world is gradually ceasing to take notice of them, and they have almost no in¿uence upon either science or literature, not to speak of social and political life. Whether the New Theology will have a difierent tale to tell remains to be seen, already there are some indications that it will.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
