Excerpt from The Home Life of Jesus of Nazareth &C Yet how little do we know concerning the wonderful events transacted there, we who would gladly know so much. How shall Christians penetrate the mysteries Of N azareth, - that village or mountain-town, and yet city in Scripture.phraseology, - diflicult of access in all senses, the place itself remote, set in a hollow on a mountain side? We may indeed visit the modern town of Nazareth at this present time, and'happy are they who can do so. Men can even drink at will from the very fountain, it may be, at which Mary filled her pitcher. But how conjure Nazareth back to the eye Of faith as it appeared when inhabited by the Saviour of the world P How perceive Him, the Saviour, the Messias yet uh revealed, labouring in the workshop, or conversing with His mother and foster-father, or studying the law and.

Excerpt from The Life of Jesus of Nazareth: A Study The aim Of this book is to help thoughtful readers of the gospels to discern more clearly the features of him whom those writings inimitably portray. It is avowedly a study rather than a story, and as a companion to the reading of the gospels it seeks to answer some of the questions which are raised by a sympathetic considera tion Of those narratives. These answers are Offered in an unargumentative way, even where the questions are still in debate among scholars. This method has been adopted because technical discussion would be of inter est to but few of those whom the book hopes to serve. On some Of the questions a non - committal attitude is taken in the belief that for the understanding of the life of Jesus it is of little importance which way the decision finally goes. Less attention has been given to questions Of geography and archaeology than to those which have a more vital biographical significance. A word concerning the point of view adopted. The church has inherited a rich treasure Of doctrine concern ing its Lord, the result of patient study and, frequently, of heated controversy. It is customary to approach the gospels with this interpretation of Christ as a premise, and such a study has some unquestionable advantages.

Excerpt from Jesus of Nazareth: His Life for the Young Now, I am far from pretending, that in the United States, or in England, youth of twelve or fifteen are more advanced in general knowledge than their fellows in Germany. In some things, commonly, they do not know as much. But I believe that the training in the Bible which children receive in good families in England, Scotland, and the United States, and in the Sunday school as conducted in these countries, puts them far in advance of French and German children in knowledge of the Scriptures, and in ability to understand and to dis cuss subjects that grow out of the stories and the doctrines of the Bible. And, besides this, they come earlier to the habit of thinking, talking, and judging of such subjects for themselves.
