Excerpt from Conscience Christ: Six Lectures on Christian Ethics The present lecture were delivered as the Haskell Lectures in the Theological Seminary of Oberlin College, Ohio, U.S.A., during the autumn of 1913. They would have been published earlier but for the war. They were delivered very much as they stand, with a few omissions. I have thought it best to add considerable notes and appendices rather than to enlarge the lectures to an extent which would in several cases have involved complete re-writing. It may be desirable briefly to explain the design of this little work. For more than thirty years the present writer has been a University teacher of Philosophy, devoting himself especially to Moral Philosophy. He has also been to some extent a student of Theology. He has been struck by the different tone in which moral questions are dealt with by Philosophers on the one hand, and by Theologians and preachers on the other. The Moral Philosopher, if he is not one of those who explain away Morality altogether, usually holds that Morality means the following of Conscience.
