UNIV. OF God's World and Word ADDRESSES FOR TO-DAY By NEAL L. ANDERSON, D.D. Copyright;.MCMXXVI, by BX9178 Lift of publisher New York: 158 Fifth Avenue Dedicated to MY WIFE, whose love has been God's choicest gift of life throughout a long ministry. 019080 PREFACE* HE sermons in this volume represent a cross-section of the preaching of a busy pastor, and the reaction of such a ministry to the problems that confront earnest-minded men and women today. They are the messages of one whose convictions are immovably anchored in the truth of God's Word, but whose mind is open to the changes through which humanity is passing, and who seeks to translate the old Gospel into the terminology of a new age. The arrangement into four groups of three sermons each disclosed an undesigned unity of thought in the development of certain great central truths, concerning God's World and His Word, that culminate in the message of the human heart of peace in which dwells the God of Peace. The first group opens with the problems created by scientific discoveries and the philosophy of a new age, and emphasizes the fundamental mystery that lies behind all truth. The sermon on "Evolution as a Science and as a Philosophy" discusses the peril of the issues * The preparation of an Introduction to this volume by the Rev. Professor John D. Davis, D.D., LL.D., of Princeton Theological Seminary, was interrupted by his sudden death. The author in writing this Preface reluctantly takes up the task of this servant of the Church, whose sane, accurate, and reverent scholarship has made the Christian world his debtor. |
