The author was Rector of St. Ethelburga's Bishopgate, at the time of its publication. He states that he is not writing for the scholar, but "for that increasing number of busy and perplexed men who desire to keep themselves abreast of the theology of the day...His one aim has been to set forth as plainly, and as simply as possible the leading features of the theology which Christian bodies have either come to hold, or are preparing themselves to accept. The result, it is hoped, will be to assure timid or anxious believers that the religion of Jesus Christ has nothing whatever to fear or to surrender when brought face to face with the forces of modern thought." - Author's Preface.
