The Christian Faith

Personally Given In A System of Doctrine

By Olin Alfred Curtis

Introduction

Fragment of a conversation between a professor of moral science in an American college and a student just about to graduate from a certain theological seminary:

Professor. "Are you entirely Satisfied with your course in theology?"

     Student. "No; the Course has been of value to me, but it has one lack."

Professor. "What? I am interested."

     Student. "In studying the Bible and Christian doctrine no connection was anywhere made with moral science."

Professor. "I am not surprised. The theologian is quite wont to forget that a sinner is a man."
