Excerpt from The Universal Christ: And Other Sermons; Preached in Liverpool
It is in this way that, over against and in opposition to the doctrine of the Deity of Christ, has been deve loped that of his pure and absolute humanity. In more than one very important sense, the latter doc trine must be accepted as true: believers in the Trinity will tell you that they are as far as possible from denying it. And yet at the same time it may very well, in some of the forms which under the exigencies of controversy it has assumed, miss elements of truth which are of the greatest importance, and become almost as false as the doctrine which it is intended to deny. For the age-long controversies of theologians have succeeded in completely hiding the real point at issue; and the known facts of the case are buried beneath successive layers of theory which have been heaped upon them by men whose words ill expressed their thoughts, and whose thoughts had no exact cor respondence with things. That point is, What are the conditions of inspired humanity P How are we to understand and account for the Christ? What makes the prophet? Whence the uplifting which sometimes comes even to feeble souls like ours? Are all these.
