Religious Questions
DISCUSSED BY
DR.. S. Parkes Cad,na,s.

was bound to recognize the surround
ing paganism to which Christianity
addressed itself.
He laid particular emphasis upon the
life, death and resurrection OF his Lord
You will recall how in his epistle to the
polite Corinthians he declared: For
determined not to know anything among
you save Jesus Christ and Him cruel
fed" 1t so happened that the apostle
was a theologian and a teacher before
he was Christian. Indeed, while ne
was still a violent opponent of the
Nazarene Sect as the followers of Jesus
were then called he tried to destroy
the very gospel he afterward spent his
life to proclaim. His work as an in
dividual thinker and theologian must
be estimated from the viewpoints
have indicated. First, its relation to
Judaism; second, to paganism, and
third, to those features of our Lords
life which he so magnificently en-
phasized.
But controversy is not the predomi-
nant note of the Pauline Epistles. Note
how often the apostle climbs his peak
in Darien and looks out upon the in
finite expanses of Gods love and re-
demptive purpose. Passages of this
nature could be quoted in abundance
They reveal the almost womanly tender
ness combined with the masculine
strength of powerful personality
which were so strangely blended in the
greatest figure Christianity has pro-
duced outside its Founder.
O. How do you account for the exal-
tation which Christians give to Jesus?
AS a student of history it seems to me
to be a remarkable phenomenon.
A. There are three explanations OF
Christ and Christianity. The first Is
philosophical, the second is historical,
the third is derived from faith in Him.
Philosophers dispute about the adora-
ton He receives. Historians cannot
deny its actually and beneficial effects,
or the fact that He appeared among
men. The religion related to that APP
pearance has played significant part
in the finest developments of humanity.
The faith which puzzles you is the
dearest belief of millions of the best
and most intelligent men and women
It's hold on them and on past gen.
erations has never faltered. It lives
in the realm of the transcendental, or
If you prefer. that of the supernatural
Briefly stated, God became man In
Christ. He did not achieve His own
human race. That divinity was His
from all eternity and was revealed In
His person, teaching and works.
The name for this revelation is the
incarnation. 1t presuppoSes the inabil.
ity of man to be self-sufficient. He
exists for help and guidance and cannot
realize his destiny apart from them
They become his by union with Christ
through faith in Him and obedience to
His commands.
Christians maintain that the uni
versal desire for aid other than the
human race can supply is answered
by God in Christ, reconciling the sim
ming, suffering, longing human family
to Himself. Upon this belief they rest
their case and center their worship
Their actual experience supports them
In so doing.
