The author instead affirms the existence of a great personal God who does reveal himself to men. The author then claims that this supreme revelation can come only through a personal act of self-commitment with a vastly renewed and more fervent faith. This book, based upon the 1940 Taylor Lectures at Yale, is a living creed of religious conviction, meant to inspire ministers, students, and laymen toward more vital Christian living."}, "latest_revision": 8, "revision": 8, "created": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2009-12-10T01:07:18.368852"}, "last_modified": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2023-12-10T20:16:29.186796"}}
