Christian View of God and the World: As Centring in the Incarnation, Being the First Series of Kerr Lectures on Creation

The superb analyses of James Orr into the essential nature of Christianity and God in the world are underappreciated classics. This edition includes Orr?s notes, appended at the end of each chapter.
Based off a series of lectures delivered in the late 19th century, this work delves into the essential truths of the Christian character. What it means to be a follower of Christ, and how the Christian views the world around him, is but the initial foray of an author determined to unveil the meanings behind the spirituality. The place of Jesus as an exemplar to all Christians is investigated, with Orr giving us a variety of scholarly views on how the life and deeds of Christ can and are viewed by believers.
Orr then broadens his examination into theism in general: the human being holding a theistic outlook upon the world is sure to derive comfort and meaning from his beliefs. The loss of this is, in the opinion of Orr and the scholars he cites, equivalent to a great misfortune.
