Excerpt from Other Gospels: Or Lectures on St. Paul's Epistle to the Galatians The differences which divide Catholics from those who still profess Christianity, yet remain outside the Catholic Church, are far from superficial. They have their roots in a fundamental differ ence which lies deeper down than is generally supposed. That difference is as to the Messianic or Apos tolic character and office of the Incarnate Word. Catholics and those who, while claiming the name of Christian, are not Catholics, are at issue not only as to the past aspect of the temporal mission of the Son of God, but also as to the nature of His present work on earth, and as to the mode of His present influence on the souls of men. Agreement on this fundamental issue would by the grace of God, speedily result in agreement with regard to those points of difference which lie upon the surface and more readily strike the eye. The difference is commonly supposed to con cern principally the constitution of the Christian Church, as it is the mystical Body of Christ. The writer believes that it rather concerns, and con cerns primarily, Christ Himself, as He is the Head of that Body. This conviction has led him to publish the fol lowing considerations in the hope that, in these days of inquiry and of doubt, they may aid men of good-will' on their way towards the possession of that 'peace of believing' which springs from the obedience of faith.' The lectures have in substance been delivered in the churches of the Society at Edinburgh and at Oxford. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
