Publisher's Synopsis
Originally published in 1934, this book contains the text of the Hulsean Lectures for 1933 on the subject of Christianity as a historic faith. Wood examines in six lectures whether Christianity's emphasis on 'historic happenings' is 'in line with the nature of history as the modern historian conceives it', whether the Christian devotion to the historical person of Jesus can be justified, and considers the role of God's providence in human matters. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the Christian view of history and Christian ideas of destiny.
