01.00.2. Foreword

Foreword THE chapters of this volume were prepared separately in time and independently in object, and were delivered from the pulpit of the First Baptist Church, Minneapolis. We now assemble them for publication, inspired by the hope that they may, in published form, instruct and strengthen a greater multitude.

Beyond question, Christ is the citadel of Christianity. So long as His name remains the incomparable one of the earth, just that long Christianity stands as the one and only sufficient religion. That the crown of glory shall ever be taken from His brow we have no fears whatever. Modernism will no more succeed in effectually sealing Him in a tomb than did the Romans, or in discrediting His claims than did the Jews. As His Word “is forever settled in heaven,” so must His claim of Deity be forever settled for earth.

If this volume accomplishes for any considerable number of readers both a confirmation of faith in Christ and an increased affection for Him, the author will be well content.
