Excerpt from The Historic Jesus: Being the Elliott Lectures Delivered in the Western Theological Seminary, Pittsburg, Pa HE question of the historicity of the evangelic narratives is more than aca demic; and so I have endeavoured to eschew technicalities and make my argument intelligible to those who, unversed in the science of criti cism, are yet troubled by its pronouncements. In truth it is less an argument than a personal confession. It indicates the path by which my own mind has travelled, and my hope is that it may help others to a braver faith in our Lord.
