Excerpt from The New and Living Way: An Orderly Arrangement and Exposition of the Doctrines of Christian Experience According to the Scriptures This treatise aims to supply a desideratum in our religious literature, and yet it covers a series of topics on some of which more books and discussions have been written than on almost any other set of related themes. Our desire is to furnish a brief but compre hensive statement of the main facts of Christian ex perience, to formulate them in true logical order, and to expound them after the method of a strictly biblical theology. At the same time each doctrine is treated with due regard to its proportionate claims to the attention of the Christian believer. In order to appre ciate fully these expositions of vital doctrine and to profit by the study, the reader ought to have his Bible (revised Version) constantly at hand, and to note the position and relations of the chief proof-texts em ployed. Only as we observe how a biblical statement is set in its context, and how much it may be affected by the personality of the writer who put it on record, are we always able to judge of its real value as a proof-text of fundamental doctrine. Strictly speak ing, our present work is a piece of biblical dogmatics rather than a section of systematic theology.
