In his foreword, William F. Robison calls “The number of those, who … have been getting farther and farther away from the sacred truth of Christ’s divinity, is positively appalling.” In this volume—taking its title from the second line of the Apostles Creed—William F. Robison seeks to reestablish the legitimacy and importance of Christ’s status as Son of God.
“To proclaim Himself before all as the Messiah, without purging the common notion from the disfiguring excrescences that defiled it, would have been to falsify His position: to declare His supreme divine dignity at once and before the providential hour in face of Herodians and Zealots, before Sadducees and Pharisees, would have been to bury in ruin the work which He had to do for all time.” (Pages 76–77)
