It attempts todemonstrate first that religion is essentially an achievementof the whole personality which cannot justly be representedin categories lower than the personal or identified with thedoctrinal, ethical and ecclesiastical systems involved init; secondly that religion, because personal, can only findits supreme expression for mankind in a person, and thatJesus, critically studied, reveals to us the complete religiouspersonality ; and thirdly that the quality of His influenceas seen, for example, in St. Paul, though misrepresentedby later theories of Incarnation and Atonement, vindicatesthe belief that He embodies for us the truth about God,mankind and the universe. It thus would bring togetherthe results of study in the fields of religious psychology, ofNew Testament criticism and exegesis, and of the historyof Christian doctrine and development.It is obvious that the conclusions here reached carry withthem corollaries which would radically change much of theaccepted tradition and practices of Christians. If religionis essentially a relationship of love to God and man, and ifall its activities must manifest this love, then there is noroom for the primary insistence upon the credal, ceremonialand constitutional niceties which so often engross the atten-tion of Churchmen. It is evident that even so moderatea restatement of fundamental concepts as is contained inPart I of the Lambeth Report of 1930 would, if followedto its logical conclusion, necessitate a complete reform ofthe findings maintained in Parts III and V ; that after theappearance of George Fox and his followers we ought to havelearned that the love of a human being for God and hisfellows does not depend upon baptism or episcopacy—aconclusion hardly novel to the student of Jesus ; and thatour emphasis upon orthodoxy and traditions, covenants7CONTENTSPAGEPreface .......7PART ONEchap.
