CHAPTER II. THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN
The Purpose of God's Personal Influence is Transforma-
tion, not Transportation.
The Power of Religion Consists, not in Rewards and
Punishments, but in God's Personal Influence.
CHAPTER IV. ETERNal Life
Life Influenced by God's Personality Becomes Eternal in
Quality.
CHAPTER V. THE SHADOW OF THE Cross
The Central Doctrine of Christianity is not Based upon
the Cross, but upon the Resurrection, and Salvation is
not the Legal Consequence of the Dead Christ's Deed,
but the Present Effect of the Living Christ's Imma-
nence, Made Possible by His Death.
Scriptural Terms for the Operation of Religion are Ex-
plainable only by Assuming It to be God's Personal
Influence.

CHAPTER VII. THE LIGHT FROM THE CROSS 161
The Crucifixion is not the Atonement; It is but a Part
of the Atonement, and It or Any Scheme or Doctrine of
It is Impotent unless It be Vitalized and Completed by
the Present Personal Influence of God.
CHAPTER VIII. THE BALAnce of Doctrine 217
To View Religion as God's Personal Influence Gives
Coherency to Conflicting Doctrines, to Contradictory
Passages of Scripture, and to Opposing Elements in Hu-
man Nature.
The Personal Influence of God is Transforming the
World as a Power of Social Evolution, not as a Rule of
Social Segregation.

237
The Personal Influence of God is the Propagating Power

The Bible was not Given to Reveal "Last Things"
nor Future Events; not to Gratify Curiosity, but to
Reveal the Laws of God's Personal Influence.
CHAPTER XII. LIFE IN THE HEAVENS
God's Personal Influence upon His Eternal Sons.
