Excerpt from The Life of Christ in Recent Research The present volume is composite in its origin; and yet, although it was something of an afterthought to print the papers of which it is composed together, they have a considerable degree of unity both of time and purpose. All but one have been written within very little more than a year; and in several cases, as will be readily seen, one has grown out of another. The nucleus of the volume is formed by four lectures delivered in response to an invitation from Cambridge. They had also been rehearsed at Oxford; and the opportunity has been taken to add to them two supplementary lectures given here in the early summer of this year. Almost at the same time with the invitation from Cambridge I re ceived another to lecture at the Church House; and this lecture appears as No. I of the present series ('the Symbolism of the the idea in my mind being that some conception of the extent and nature of Biblical Symbolism would be helpful in connexion with the other lectures. It fell to my lot to preach before the University in February last, and the substance of that sermon appears under the title'miracles'. It was still more of an afterthought to reprint at the end of the volume reviews of two recent books by Dr. Du Bose, and with them an article on Dr. Moberly's A tenement and Personality. Unintentionally, and in the first instance almost unconsciously, these three reviews fell into a kind of connected chain, and as they have a distinct bearing on the main subject though approaching it from a different side, it is convenient to myself, and may be to some others, to have them together. At the last moment I have decided to throw in as an Appendix a sermon on Angels, written for the Chapel Royal on Michaelmas Day. I do this, both because it fur nishes another direct illustration of a leading principle that has become clearer to me as the book proceeded and also because the subject is one that has caused me some perplexity, though it now seems to work out satisfactorily.
