Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ancient Faith in Modern Light The following Essays, by members of a society of ministers accustomed to meet for free and brotherly conference, are intended to reassert, from a modern point of view, great fundamental verities of the Christian Faith, and to indicate some of their varied applications. To distinguish between the permanent and the tran sient in Religion is one of the gravest and hardest tasks of the theologian. In every age there is a removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that have been made, that those things which are not shaken may remain. Too often, indeed, in the eager desire for pro gress, the distinction is missed; and in the criticism of human theories and systems the Divine thought that underlies them is left out of Sight. To avoid this error has been the great aim of the Essayists, whose long experi ence as Christian teachers, with much close observation of the thoughts and tendencies of the time, has led them to cling with ever-increasing confidence to the truths which are unchanging and essential.
