Excerpt from Among the Gospels and the Acts: Being Notes and Comments Covering the Life of Christ in the Flesh, and the First Thirty Years' History of His Church While I have freely consulted many authorities, 1 have sought most of all to conform to the spirit and the genius of these sacred records of our Lord when He dwelt among us in the flesh and of the planting of His Church for the saving of the lost world. In no sense is this book to be studied in preference to the Gospels and the Acts. This is only to introduce the student to the more careful study of the Holy Oracles themselves. This can only take you to the door; your study of the Word itself will take you beyond the threshold. If this book serves to that end it will have accomplished the purpose of its preparation. To the Divine Sower this is committed as being only a hand ful of seed that may bring fruit to His glory.
