Excerpt from Inaugural Lectures Delivered by Members of the Faculty of Theology: During Its First Session, 1904-5 A word of explanation may be offered as to the order in which the lectures are arranged. In the main the order adopted has been to begin with the Biblical subjects, to pass on to Church History, then to History of Doctrine, and to conclude with Speculative Theology. Professor Tout's lecture has been placed first, because it supplies an exposition of the character and ideals of the Faculty, and thus forms an appropriate introduction to the first volume of our Theological series. It was my original intention to have placed the lectures of Professor Rhys Davids and Professor Hogg next to represent the Oriental side of our work. The former, however, could not be ready till the rest of the volume was set up in pages, and it had therefore to come at the end. It seemed best under the circumstances to place the latter in the Biblical section. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
