Excerpt from Primitive Christian Eschatology: The Hulsean Prize Essay for 1908 This essay in its original form obtained the Cambridge University Hulsean Prize for the year 1908. Since then, with the sanction of the University authorities, I have revised it throughout, and have made a few brief additions. The process of revision, which of necessity has been carried out in the midst of the activities of a large suburban parish, has tended at times to encroach somewhat seriously upon the claims of pastoral duties, and I am deeply grateful to the Rev. H. A. Wilson, Vicar of Norbiton, for the generosity with which he arranged that I might devote a considerable amount of time to this extra-parochial work. It is a pleasant duty to acknowledge the debt which I owe to the many friends who have helped me with counsel and criticism. Among these I would specially mention the Rev. Dr. J. B. Mayor, who most kindly read through the whole essay as originally written, and by his careful criticisms enabled me to remove many blemishes. To Professor Burkitt I am indebted for much valuable advice, which more than once has opened up new and fruitful lines of thought.
