Excerpt from The Place of Jesus in the Life of Today: A Series of Unconventional Talks on Some Present Day Realities of the Christian Religion Old religions, stranded here and there among the Obliv ious years, are a common sight. Names of divinities that once shook the world have now to be looked up in books Of reference. Clever writers tell us that the reli gion of Jesus is already laboring among the shallows, and will soon be hard aground, never again to move under its own power. We believe, on the contrary, that the Christian faith pulsates with the power and wonder and beauty Of the God of Life, and that the personality of Jesus is - to human experience - the living center Of its glory. All that is sweetest and best in human life still finds its source in Him. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
