Excerpt from The Man of Galilee: A Biographical Study of the Life of Jesus Christ
For twenty years I have been writing down the results of my studies of the career and character, the mission and influence of Jesus of Nazareth, son of Joseph and Mary. Within the last two years I have been permitted the opportunity to gather these results together and give them a chronological and unifying relationship. The view of Jesus the Christ here set forth appears to me not less than a matter of supreme and vital moment. In a somewhat large and active ministry, I have found the experience of men making such a picture of the Messiah of Humanity as I have tried faithfully to reproduce in these pages. Every line of this biographical study has been made true to me, either in the Christian experience of myself or in the religious growth and sanctification of others whom I have tried to help, by acquainting them with the Master of Men. If, therefore, more of the preacher and pastor appears in these chapters, than of the theologian and scholar, this fact - that for many years I have found Jesus Christ repeating His acts and re-living His life in the lives of the people whom God has given me to guide - must furnish sole, and, I hope, sufficient explanation.
A long list, indeed, would they furnish, if I were to supply the names of the authors and the books which I have freely drawn upon, and all other means employed by me, in writing this book. To make such acknowledgment in the form of a catalogue, would expose me justly to the charge of pedantry.
