First published in 1947, this book contains the text of a lecture delivered the previous year by the Reverend Leonard Hodgson on the occasion of the twenty-fifth anniversary of Wesley House, Cambridge. Hodgson discusses the developments in Christian theology during the previous quarter century, particularly in the understanding of the Bible as both the Word of God to man and as a record of man's experience of God. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Christian theology in the early twentieth century.
