About this Book

This work is offered not so much as a theological argument as a simple and forthright statement of faith. At a time when so much is being written that leaves the reader in bewilderment, and when the Christian Church seems to be suffering more from some of its friends than from its enemies, we need positive belief not unmixed with common sense. New learning is always to be welcomed and given a critical appreciation, but not all new teaching is new learning.

Of the essays that make up this book one critic writes: "They display a healthy and exuberant sanity. Their appeal, unabashedly evangelical, is balanced. The author, while repudiating a theology grounded in man's total depravity, has no illusions about the impotence of humanism. His vision of salvation, though giving due weight to eschatological concepts, and stressing the claims of the world to come, maintains that the life eternal must be enjoyed here and now."
