The doctrine of the incarnation has been met, throughout the history of the church, with skepticism, ridicule, and outright rejection. Ironside tackles each objection to this central doctrine, and compares modern movements—such as Mormonism and Seventh-Day Adventism—to the historical heresies of Gnosticism and Arianism. He also launches into lengthy diatribes against modernism and higher criticism, and successfully defends the veracity and credibility of the incarnation. This important work provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to this central doctrine.
H. A. Ironside, one of the twentieth century’s greatest preachers, was born in Toronto, Canada on October 14, 1876. Though his education stopped with grammar school, his fondness for reading and a retentive memory put his learning to use. His scholarship was recognized in academic circles when he received honorary degrees from Wheaton College and Bob Jones University and was invited as frequent lecturer at Dallas Theological Seminary. Dr. Ironside was appointed to the boards of numerous Bible institutes, seminaries, and Christian organizations. He also served as director of the Africa Inland Mission. Ironside preached widely throughout the United States and abroad. He served as pastor of Moody Memorial Church from 1930 to 1948, and during his lifetime, he preached more than 7,000 sermons to over 1.25 million listeners.
