PREFACE
The work that was entrusted to me by the General Editors
of the International Theological Library was simply the
presentation of the conception of God that is characteristic
of the Christian religion. I was not sent to search for God,
but rather to report as well as I might what the Christian
faith testifies concerning him. It has seemed to me that this
single commission was enough for me to undertake, and I
have attempted nothing more. No report of the literature of
the subject will be found upon these pages, nor any quotation
of other men's work, nor any controversy. It is the sole en-
deavour of the book to set forth the Christian doctrine of God
for the present day: not the doctrine of the past, or of the
future, but the thought of God that we may now entertain if
we follow the leading of Jesus Christ the revealer. So far as
I have the power, I have sought to be faithful both to the
ancient light and to the modern, and I have hoped that my
presentation might bear reasonably well the tests of the pres-
ent time. There are many ways of dealing with the vast and
glorious theme, and certainly there must be room for a book
that simply aims to show forth the doctrine as Christian faith
may receive it now.
The review from Amazon.com reviewer
Clarke was a Baptist theologian who published this book in 1909. His understanding of the nature of God is the best I have ever read, and I have read many. Some of his conclusions I do not agree with, one of which is, he believes in Divine controlled evolution. His argument for this does not agree with the orthodox doctrine of creation. However, I disagree to some extent with the orthodox view, in that, I do not believe creation necessarily took place in six twenty-four hour days. If so, how long was the first night? I believe in the gap theory which lines up with what science has discovered as to the age of the universe including the time of the dinosaurs. The gap theory says that there was a vast time between the first verse of Genesis and the restoration of the earth to its original beauty.
