The aim of the author is to show that heresy trials such as the one to which Mr. Crapsey was recently subjected are contrary to the principles of the English reformation and the whole spirit of the Anglican church. He considers historically the ordination vows and the various articles of the creed, and shows that their original significance has been lost sight of in the interpretation given them by heresyhunting churchmen of to-day, and that the doctrine of the virgin birth in particular has been emphasized out of all proportion to its importance.
“Interesting and timely volume.”

“As a tract for its times, however, this volume presents important considerations on a vital question, and the effort of the author to secure and establish freedom in the church as well as his endeavor to impart correct information as to the history of symbols now in controversy, should secure him wide sympathy.”

“There is of necessity something of what opponents will call special pleading about Dr. Allen’s arguments. But he never falls for a moment into the pitfall of most theological pleaders. He never vilifies his opponents.”
