Excerpt from The Purpose of the Ages
There are books which need a preface, and there are books to which a preface is like a costly binding or sumptuous type. I think that the volume to which I am prefixing these few words of introduction belongs to the latter class. Its purpose may be read in every page; the message it would deliver is no riddle that requires an ?dipus to solve. The thread that runs, through it is clear and distinct, and binds its several parts into a single whole. The divine education of the human race and of the individual within the race, the unity of God"s dealings with man, is the central idea whose development forms the very essence of the poem. Faith that reveals itself in obedience and finally attains the perfect liberty of oneness with God is the instrument whereby that development is worked out.
But man has a history, and it is therefore on the stage of history that his education has been carried on.
