Excerpt from Jesus Christ and the Civilization of to-Day: The Ethical Teaching of Jesus Considered in Its Bearings on the Moral Foundations of Modern Culture

As indicated by the title, the scope of this work is limited to a consideration of the ethical teachings of Jesus Christ in their bearings on the spiritual life of civilization. No account is taken of the external events of Christ's life or of his deeds, except in so far as has seemed necessary to interpret the meaning and application of his teaching. No questions of dogmatic theology are directly considered, nor, on the other hand, does the author mean to imply that there may not be aspects of that life, of deep significance for the individual and the church, that lie beyond the purview of the present work. He is simply concerned here with ideas that seem to him to be of broad and primary significance for the entire moral foundations of western culture. He has felt compelled to take some account of eastern culture, since the two are now meeting in the world-arena. He has done this with diffidence, since his knowledge of the East is purely literary.
