Preface
  1. The Unreal Bible.
    1. This theory has no sufficient sanction by the Church.
    2. The Bible nowhere makes any such claim of infallibility for itself.
    3. The Bible carries the refutation of this claim upon the face of its writings.
    4. The growth of this theory is plain to us, and discredits its authority.
    5. This theory is incapable of a statement which is not self-stultifying.
    6. This theory of our Bible is, in our age, seen to be the same theory whichall peoples have entertained of their bibles.
  2. The Real Bible.
      1. These books have the venerableness which belongs to ancient writings.
      2. These books form the literature of a noble race.
      3. This literature of the Jewish nation and of the Christian Church is intrinsically noble.
      4. This literature has been very influential in the development of progressive civilization.
      1. Israel's specialty in history was religion.
      2. Israel's literature became thus a religious literature.
      3. Israel's literature presents us, in the various moods and tenses ofher life, with the various phases of religion.
      4. Israel's literature presents us with the record of a continuous growthof religion upward through its normal stages.
      5. Israel's literature records the forcing forward of this growth ofreligion, as by some Power back of man, shaping its ends, rough-hew themas it might.
      6. Israel's literature thus presents the picture of a nation's patient,insistent pressing forward, through long centuries, toward the fruition ofits ideal, the realization of true religion.
      7. The literature of Christian Israel records the realization of thislong sought ideal, the fruition of this organic growth.
      8. This organic growth of a national religion into a catholic ideal, notwithout parallels elsewhere, is, however unique in respect to theconditions for a truly Universal Religion.
