Seven Questions In Dispute THEDESCEHT OFTHt vmmsts Shall Christianity Kem aiw - Seven Questions in Dispute By WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN Author of In His Image, Famous Figures of the Old Testament etc. NEW YORK CHICAGO TORONTO Fleming H. Revell Company LONDON AND EDINBURGH This little volume, briefly setting forth my views on certain vital truths of... more » the Christian Faith, is affectionately dedicated to my beloved children and grandchildren PREFACE THE chapters forming the content of this volume appeared, primarily, as a series of articles in the columns of The Sunday School Times, and are not writ ten from a sectarian or denominational stand point. The principles and propositions dis cussed are fundamental. The differences which raise the issues considered, show a line of cleavage that runs through all denomina tions. In May, 1923, the Presbyterian General As sembly North issued a pronouncement on five of the questions which are considered in these chapters, and the position taken by the Presbyterian Church at that time represents the views of a large majority of the rank and file, not only of its own communion, but of all the Evangelical Churches, and of the Cath olic Church as well. It is the same moreover, as that taken in the same month by the Southern Baptist Church in its National Con vention at Kansas City. In November of the same year, the Bishops of the Protestant Episcopal Church met at 7 8 PREFACE Dallas, Texas, and reiterated their acceptance of the Apostles 5 Creed as the foundation of their Churchs belief, specially emphasizing the Virgin Birth. In the Northern Baptist Church the same questions have arisen, and the Baptist Bible Union of America has been formed to give expression to the views of those of that de nomination who hold to the faith once for all delivered unto the saints. The Southern Methodist Church is agitated by the same issues, as is shown by the con troversy raised by modernist lectures deliv ered at Junalaska under the auspices of the General Sunday School Board. . In the Northern Methodist Church, the Is sue has been accentuated recently by the en forced retirement of one of its ministers on account of his liberal views. Most of the theological seminaries of the Northern Meth odist Church describe themselves as liberal In the Christian Church the lines are being drawn between those who call themselves con servatives and those who style themselves lib erals or modernists, and the Congregational Church is not entirely free from dissension on this subject The conflict of opinion has even reached the foreign missionary fields. The Bible Union PBEFACE 9 of China has been organized to protect the Bible from the attacks of liberal missionaries. The Bible Churchmans Missionary Society of England has just been organized to defend the Bible from the attacks made upon it by one of the leading missionary societies of that country. Missionary work in India is being embarrassed by the same division as to the authority of the Bible. The Church papers in all denominations are taking sides, each charging the other side with menacing the Churchs welfare. While the Presbyterian Church is reiterating a declara tion made by the Assembly in 1910 and 1916, that It is an essential doctrine of the Word of God and our standards that the Holy Spirit did so inspire, guide, and move the writers of Holy Scriptures as to keep them from error the editor of one of the leading papers of that church says, God only knows how many souls that folly ruined. 5 I may add that the question of pre-millennial ism or post-millennialism does not enter into this discussion. Both schools rely upon the Bible as their authority it is not a question of inspiration but of interpretation...
