Excerpt from Concerning Jesus Christ, the Son of Man
This book is not a Life of Jesus Christ. No such Life has ever been written, or ever can be. For a proper "Life of Jesus Christ," "sources" are lacking.
But "sources" are not lacking, they are richly supplied, for furnishing forth a work like the present, which may very fairly be described as a cycle of memorabilia concerning Jesus Christ, the Son of Man. It presents Jesus Christ moving, so to speak visualized, in speech and in action, as a Man among men.
As a Man above men? If so, that cannot be helped. Let but the facts be represented truly, the resultant effect is inevitable. The transcendency of this unique human personality is as unmistakable as is the humanity itself which is transcended. The transcendency does not need to be insisted upon. It does its own insisting in being truly and simply presented.
One newspaper critic of the present author's previous work, "Concerning Jesus Christ, the Son of God," remarked - discerningly, at least, whether or not over-generously "The apologetic value of the book is immense." In that former case, the "apologetic value," whatever the measure of it may be held to be, was due to argument. The author himself, in finding and in conducting his argument, felt indeed, he must acknowledge, the convincing force of it to be nothing less than literally "immense."
