Excerpt from Deus Homo God-Man
A Recent work has attracted much attention, in which the author endeavors to exhibit the human excellence of Jesus Christ. Its title is "Ecce Homo."
More recently another work has appeared, in which the author asserts the divinity of Jesus Christ. Its title is "Ecce Deus."
My book is not written as a criticism of these books, or an answer to them ; or with any controversial purpose whatever. But, believing that in Jesus Christ the Divine is Human and the Human is Divine, that lie is God and lie is Man, both perfectly, I have given to this book a title which may indicate this belief.
So far as we understand this central truth of all Truth, we may understand the relation of God to man, and of man to God; and the relations of men to each other, because they spring from the relation of all to Him; and the universe - of matter and of spirit - for that is made for man and is in perfect relation to him.
My purpose in this work is to exhibit, as well as I can, my understanding of this central Truth, and some of its consequences. It has been written in the fragments of time left me by engagements which are duties. With a painful sense of its great and manifold deficiencies, I publish it only because I still indulge the hope that it may be not wholly useless.
