1924. Leighton writes that this book is a humble contribution
towards the New Reformation, a modest prelude to the dawn of a new
cultural synthesis which will mean a new religious synthesis, a new
ethical synthesis and a new social synthesis-one in which the light
of science will be vivified and energized by the moral and humane
values implicit in the works of Jesus and his greatest disciples;
but a synthesis which will include the ethical and social
implications of our new knowledge of man, nature and their
interrelations which are the fruits of science. The Contents are
divided into three parts: Religion and Culture Today; The Religion
of Jesus; and The Validity of Religion.

SSAY. 1901. PERSONALITY AND REALITY - A TREATISE O F METAPHYSICS.
II p Z e payation . JESUS CHItIST AND THE CIVILIZATION OF TO-DAY
THE ETHICAL TEACHING OF JESUS CONSIDERED IN ITS BEARINGS ON THE
MORAL FOUNDATIONS OF MODERN CULTURE JOSEPH ALEXANDER LEIGHTON, PH.
D. PROFESSOR OF PHILOSOPHY AND PSYCHOLOGY IN HOBART COLLEGE.
PREFATORY NOTE As indicated by the title, the scope of this work is
limited to a consideration of the ethical teachings of Jesus Christ
in their bearings on the spiritual life of civilization. No account
is taken of the external events of Christs life or of his deeds,
except in so far as has seemed ilecessary to interpret the meaning
and application of his teaching. No questions of dogmatic theology
are directly considered, nor, on the other hand, does the author
mean to imply that there may not be aspects of that life, of deep
significance for the individual and the church, that lie beyond the
purview of the present work. He is simply concerned here with ideas
that seem to him to be of broad and primary significance for the
entire moral foundations of western culture. He has felt compelled
to take some account of eastern culture, since the two are now
meeting in the world-arena. He has done this with diffidence, since
his knowledge of the East is purely literary. The primary aim of
the work is practical, and it is addressed to all intelligent
persons who are honestly and open-mindedly seeking t6 determine the
relation of the words of the great Master of Life and Religion to
their own lives and to the vii ... Vlll PREFATORY NOTE complex
andconfused life of contemporary civilization. Hence, technical
discussions in biblical criticism and in philosophy have been, so
far as possible, avoided. Philosophical questions have been dealt
with as briefly and clearly as possible. If the style of treatment
may savour, to the specialist, of dogmatism, the authors reply is
that he has threshed out, to the best of his ability, questions at
issue in the philosophy of mind in a forthcoming work. To the
specialist in New Testament criticism and theology the author would
say further that, while he has avoided burdening a work of popular
character with references, he has considered in great part the
recent literature both German and English. But the writers wish
will be satisfied if some intelligent seekers after truth in
matters of conduct and life are led to a fuller appreciation of the
present significance of the teaching of Him whose words are Spirit
and Life. GENEVA, NEW YORK, January 10, g g . CONTENTS PAGE
