Witness to the Truth

This Is Another Attempt To Rediscover The Christ By Brushing Aside The Ceremonies Rituals Creeds And Dogmas Which In The View Of The Author Have Obscured The Figure Of The Master. In Chapters On The Gospels On St. Paul On Faith And On The Church Miss Hamilton Endeavors To Set Forth The Basic Truth Which Makes Christ An Unforgettable Figure. She Includes A Chapter On Socrates Because Of Her Belief That In His Life And Teaching The Greek Philosopher Was Closer To Christ Than Anyone Else That Ever Lived. Orthodox Christians Whether Protestant Or Catholic Will Not Follow Hamilton In Many Of Her Arguments. But It Is Not For Such That She Writes. Rather Her Appeal Is To The Wistful Seeking Souls For Whom Christ Has Become An Ecclesiastical Personage Or A Theological Dogma.--Kirkus
