Excerpt from The Bible and Modern Thought Christianity claims to be a Divine revelation, or a message of truth from the living God to the children of men, contained, embodied, and recorded in the Scrip tures of the New Testament. It claims, further, to be the sequel and completion of earlier messages from the same Divine Author, contained and recorded, in like manner, in the Scriptures of the Old Testament. Christian faith, in the widest sense of the term, consists in the admission of this double claim. Infidelity con sists in its rejection and denial.
