Excerpt from The Life of Christ Object, method and spirit of this book may be stated in a single sentence. It is (I) a textbook, (2) of the Life of Christ, (3) for advanced students, (4) following modern methods, but (5) strictly evangelical in spirit and view point, (6) based on the exact words of the gospels, and (7) having for its chief object the nurture of Christian character. Being (I) a text book for study and not a book for easy reading, it aims at conciseness, sometimes at the expense of elegance of diction, because verboseness is the foe of accuracy and of the student's time, it follows the analytical method, separating introductory matter, narrative, explanations and practical lessons, for this promotes clearness of teaching and thoroughness of study, the type also has been selected with a view to making the text as plain as possible, (2) The Life of Christ being of fundamental importance and therefore the chief target of attack, no student's education should be considered complete without a thorough course in it, and no congregation should allow a year to pass without having one or more groups of members studying this great subject, especially in those years when the Sunday School lessons are not selected from the gospels. (See "Directions for Study.") This book is intended (3) for advanced Bible study in the higher institutions of learning, where our future ministers, physicians, lawyers, statesmen, leaders of thought, teachers and prominent women are being trained. Here this great subject should be a required course, and not simply offered as an elective or treated merely as a "devotional" study for which little preparation is expected.
