Excerpt from The Kingdom of Christ: A Series of Ten Lectures These lectures are not an effort to restate or expound any system of theology. They are not technical, being written for the lay rather than professional student. They are an attempt to put into a language which is free from the terminology of the theologian certain truths which the author believes to be the fundamental teachings of Jesus about His Kingdom. There is no attempt to set forth anything new, but rather to expound and illustrate in a popular way certain phases of the thought of more recent years concerning these matters which have been dealt with almost exclusively in a technical manner. The illustrations are not scriptural in themselves, but are used in an attempt to make clear certain teachings of the Scriptures. It would be unsafe to build into a system of theology such phrases as the "Magna Charta" - or "Constitution of The Kingdom." They are not scriptural, but the author believes that they will serve well to illustrate some very vital teachings of the Master. In short, these lectures seek to help some of the laity to a better understanding of some of the modern problems that concern the spiritual side of the Christian fundamentals. There have been those, where these lectures have been delivered, who have objected that they were weak in that they deal too largely with the spiritual interpretations of the teachings of Jesus, ignoring their practical applications, such as the social side of Christ's gospel, the Kingdom on earth, etc. We must not forget that the Kingdom of Christ is a spiritual kingdom.
