Excerpt from Dominus Noster: A Study in the Progressive Recognition of Jesus Christ Our Lord

The purpose of this book is to give a point of view for the study of the New Testament, whether by the student with his Greek text at hand, or by the layman with his English Bible. The central theme of the documents contained in the New Testament is Jesus Christ, His inﬂuence and its results. Everything else will fall into its proper place and proportion when it is rightly related to that. On the other hand, by isolating the theme, we get an opportunity of recognising the true character of the record, and so of appreciating the strong current of thought and feeling that underlies its quiet surface. It is the revolution of thought and the transformation of character attested by these records which provide one of the bases of our faith in Christ to-day. The attempt to exhibit these as clearly and as vividly as possible, though it may have been made before, has not yet been made too often. The old view-point has not yet been abandoned for the new and better one. From that view-point men saw the thought of the New Testa ment as lying on one level plane, the ideas about Christ which were held by those who believed on Him, as constant from Matthew to Revelation. The image that now presents itself is rather that of a sea thrown into turmoil by the wind of the Spirit.
