Excerpt from Toward the Strait Gate: Or Parish Christianity for the Unconverted
The present volume is the natural successor to Ad Fidem. It views the reader as having been brought to accept the Bible as a Divine message, and seeks to conduct him from this point, step by step, to a Scriptural conversion.
There are two ways of doing this. One assumes the man to be quite ignorant of the leading Bible-truths looking toward conversion, and proceeds to set them forth in their proper logical order as one would teach the principles of a science to a beginner - carefully keeping from using any truth till it has been formally expounded in its place. The other assumes a general acquaintance with the Bible which is intellectually accepted; and so, while presenting the various topics in their natural order, very much as is done by the other method, does not hesitate to use at any point whatever commonly received truth may there seem of service.
The latter way is the one used in this work.
