Excerpt from Jesus as a Teacher: And the Making of the New Testament
Pursuing, as I have done for many years the practice of the Art of Teaching, I have naturally been led to study this art on its reflective side, and also the related science of teaching, together with the history of education. This has been particularly true since, several years ago, it became my professional duty to teach these subjects. My studies in the historical field have embraced, not merely educational doctrine, or pedagogical subject-matter, but also educational method and spirit as illustrated by some of the great teachers of the world Long ago I had given incidental attention to these last-mentioned elements in Jesus of Nazareth, while studying His lessons; but now I came to study Him distinctly from the professional point of view. I found myself at a loss which to admire most, what He taught or how He taught it. In time I began to write on the subject, and soon what I had written took the form of a series of articles bearing the title, Jesus as a Teacher, which appeared in "The Christian- Evangelist." My original purpose was to put the formal elements in the foreground, and to use doctrine only for the sake of illustration; and if, as time wore on, the relation of the two factors began somewhat to change, the reader will have no difficulty in discovering the reason why. However, when the series was finished the formal, art, or professional side had received the emphasis.
