“All his chapters are interesting, tho some are marred by rhetorical skyrockets. He has the courage of his convictions and utters some new opinions that are worth considering; but he also publishes some opinions (and even a few misstatements of fact) which prove that his authoritative pose is not wholly justified.”

Streatfield, Rev. George Sidney. Self-interpretation of Jesus Christ: a study of the Messianic consciousness as reflected in the synoptics. *$1.25. Meth. bk.
“The Jesus of the synoptists, it is here argued with much force and learning, asserts Himself as the transcendental Christ.”—Bib. World.
“Compels respect by reason of the conspicuous earnestness and sincerity of the author. The book is fundamentally in error in two respects. The value of Jesus and his message to man is not determined precisely by his peculiar ontological relation to God. And further, the dilemma which the author proposes will not exhaust the possibilities in the light of an honest historical interpretation of the gospels.” J. W. Bailey.

“The author’s familiarity with modern controversial literature has overloaded his pages with variant opinions, while theological terms are not always clearly and precisely distinguished. In general he seems to be defending the truth rather than seeking it.”
