Excerpt from The Unaccountable Man
The question Of questions, therefore, is not What think ye Of Christianity? But What think ye Of Christ? There seems to be a disposition in some quarters to ignore the personal factor and retain the ethical system: but this is as impossible as it would be to keep the sunlight and reject the sun. For, in the last reduction, there is nothing in Christianity but Christ.
A calm discussion Of this question touching the personality Of Christ can lead to one conclusion only, as we shall presently see. The disciples, on the road to that conclusion, happened on many surprises and startling denouements. They had reason to suppose that they knew something Of Jesus, being on terms Of closest intimacy with him, yet now and then a truth fell from his lips, so new, SO bold and illumina ting, that they looked into each other's faces with questioning amaze. Or perhaps it was a miracle, - the cleansing Of a leper or the stilling Of a tempest, - which moved them to cry, What manner of man is this?

Excerpt from The Unaccountable Man
"What manner of man is this?" - Mark 4, 21.
An old proverb says, "The secret of Messiah is the secret of man"; that is, To come face to face with Christ is to solve all the problems of life. The Church has made an historic blunder in addressing herself so exclusively to dogmatic apologetics rather than to the personal Christ and to all the truths of religion as radiating from him. For Christianity is distinguished from all other religions by the fact that it has no life apart from him who breathed his personality into it. If the memory of Sakya Muni were blotted out, the Three Baskets of Buddhism would still remain. If the name of Confucius were obliterated, his multitudinous followers would still cherish the Analects. But Christ is identical with Christianity; he is its head, its throbbing heart, its all in all.
The question of questions, therefore, is not "What think ye of Christianity?" but "What think ye of Christ?" There seems to be a disposition in some quarters to ignore the personal factor and retain the ethical system: but this is as impossible as it would be to keep the sunlight and reject the sun. For, in the last reduction, there is nothing in Christianity but Christ.
