Excerpt from The Days of His Flesh: The Earthly Life of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ The aim Of this work is two-fold. In the Introduction I have endeavoured to vindicate the historicity Of the evangelic records and adduce reason for believing, in opposition to an influential school of modern criticism, that they present Jesus as He actually lived among men, and not as He appeared to a later generation through a haze Of reverence and superstition. And in the subsequent chapters I have sought, by interpreting what the Evangelists have written, to justify the Church's faith in Him as the Lord from Heaven. It might be well for such as lack taste or aptitude for technical discussion to pass over the Introduction.
