Excerpt from The Life of Christ There is an obvious difficulty in dealing with such a subject as the Life of Christ within the limits prescribed for this little work. 'ou the one hand is the danger of presenting a mere enumeration of dry details, on the other that of vagueness and sketchi ness. This book does not pretend to be exhaustive in any sense. Many incidents are barely mentioned or altogether omitted. References either to Scripture or to other works are given sparingly. Critical questions are not discussed, though their place and nature are frequently indicated, together with the solution which commends itself to the writer. The design has been to furnish such an epitome of event and utterance as may be a guide in reading the Gospels, by giving something of unity to the picture there presented, and especially to lay stress on such features of the life of Jesus as shall help to an understanding of His character and purposes. For an excellent detailed sketch, serving in some measure both as an index and harmony of the Gospels, the reader may be referred to the Life of Jesus Christ by the late Principal Salmond of Aberdeen.
