Excerpt from The Fundamentals of Christianity a Study of the Teaching of Jesus and Paul This book will not attempt formal proof of the foregoing propositions. They will only incidentally, and almost accidentally, furnish subject of discussion. T hey are the fundamental data on which the entire discussion proceeds; so nearly axiomatic, in the author's View, that the mere statement of them should secure hearty assent from the thoughtful Christian reader. Indeed, his fear is that more readers will pronounce them truisms than untruths. But it is only fair to give warning that any reader who seriously dissents from them will do well to lay the book aside at this point, as it would probably be pure waste of time and mental energy for him to read further. For if these fundamentals are untrue, or even doubtful, the following pages are worthless. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
