Excerpt from The Greater Parables of Tolstoy: With Interpretations as Told to His Congregation How far they express the preacher's own views does not concern the present purpose, which is to accurately condense and faithfully expound the stories. He has taken no liberties with his author; but whilst compelled to entirely pass over multitudes of incidents, he has stated and summarised the most important with painstaking fidelity, and adhered with absolute veracity to the course of the narratives. Neither has he wilfully tampered with his author's message; but, scrupulously ignoring the assents or dissents of his own mind, has anxiously endeavoured to set forth the ideas he believed to be in the mind of Tolstoy. The interpreter is less likely to have misled his readers, since he has for many years been a sympathetic student of, and in general agreement with, the writings of the greatest of modern Christians.
