Excerpt from The Function of Christian Ethics: A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate Divinity, School of the University of Chicago, for the Degree of Doctor of PhilosophyStated in less technical language, the question which this thesis seeks to answer is one which has been raised by the rather recent popular cry of Back to Jesus in faith and conduct. This cry, which seemed fraught with so much good for the ethical and relig ious life of the Christian church, has been checked by a question which not many people seem to have answered, namely, When you go back to Jesus, what can you bring away with you? Some have looked upon Jesus as a moral legislator whose precepts are good for all time and from whom we may obtain directions governing all the departments of life. The hard and fast legalism in which this an swer has landed people has checked the enthusiasm of the movement. It is the purpose of this thesis to answer the question, What can Jesus give a man in the ethical sphere?About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
