Through Facts to Faith

Excerpt from Through Facts to Faith: Being the St. Margaret's Lectures for 1912 The substance of this volume was delivered as the 'St. Margaret's Lectures' in St. Margaret's Church, Westminster, during Lent, 1912, under the title of 'Miracles and the Christian Faith.' In the previous year the Lecturer had published a book called Miracles in the New Testament, in which, after a critical discussion of the evidence, he suggested the conclusion that the alleged miracles either were not miraculous, or did not happen. The book did not profess to deal with the theological questions in which the problem of miracles is involved. In the few pages which were given to the discussion of such issues, all that could be done was to claim that the rejection of miracles is not incompatible with Christian faith. In view of the discussion and other incidents to which the book gave rise, it was natural that the opportunity generously afforded by the Vicar of St. Margaret's should be used to develop the theological and constructive side of the argument.
