Excerpt from Concerning the Disciples of Christ
It will be noted that this claims Simply to be a hand-book. It contains the seeds of things. It could not be expected that the writer would choose a wider scope or give more elaborate details than will be found in this small volume. It is intended to be a guide to the reader, a manual setting forth in brief outline the 'matters with which it deals, and leaving the student to take up any line of thought suggested by its chapters and indulge in the largest liberty of investigation.
Very profitably and judiciously the author dis cusses his subject under twenty-two divisions. In the use of this volume by the individual reader or by the circle there is suggestion here Of wide fields of research. In connection with the first five chapters very profitable study can be made of the Renaissance and the Lutheran Reformation, and of the great characters to whom the world is Specially indebted for its escape from the dark ages and its advance to the present high state of civiliza tion and religious liberty. In the development of the line of thought from chapters Six to twelve a series of studies of the Acts of the Apostles, of the cases of conversion reported there, Of apostolic church organization and church life could be pursued to great advantage.
