Fundamentals Of Faith In The Light Of Modern Thought

Excerpt from Fundamentals of Faith in the Light of Modern Thought Having had the privilege of an advance reading of the pages which follow, and having been requested to write some words of preface, I gladly enter these pages to serve as the forerunner for one of my friends and pastors. I cannot think that it so much matters whether I agree with every sentence that the author of this book has written. Doubtless few of us have ever found several hundred pages of writing with every detail of which our own personal views would correspond. For there is, after all, a personal orthodoxy, and there is a church orthodoxy. If we try a man by the personal standard, he may be quite heretical; if we try him by the church standard, he may be very sound. This is because a church standard is and should be broader than a personal standard. If it were otherwise, thousands of labels of infallibility would plague the world. As an example, the Methodist Episcopal Church has no one doctrine of scriptural inspiration. Mr. Wesley wisely put it that "the canonical books of the Old and New Testament Scriptures contain all things essential to salvation."
