It has always seemed to me that what lies at the basis of all preparation for the ministry is the sense of a Call from God. I do not, however, wish to narrow the sense of the word “vocation.” There are only two ways of looking at life for everybody. Either we are here in the world to carve out a career for ourselves, to push along as best we may, regardless of God and man; or else we have to respond to a Call from God, to listen for God’s voice—remembering how very complex are the ways in ...

In "The Virgin-Birth of Our Lord," B. W. Randolph meticulously explores the theological and historical implications of the doctrine of the virgin birth within Christian tradition. This scholarly work balances a critical examination of scriptural texts with a rich historical narrative, delving into the theological debates that have surrounded this cornerstone belief in Christianity. Randolph's literary style is both accessible and profound, employing a rigorous analysis of Biblical scriptur...

This little book consists of a paper and a sermon. The paper was read (in substance) at a meeting of the S. T. C. in Cambridge, in November, 1905, and again at a meeting of clergy in the Chapter House of Worcester Cathedral, in February of this current year. The sermon was preached at Lincoln Cathedral on Low Sunday, 1903.The subject of our Lord’s Resurrection has been brought prominently forward in recent years by writers who seem to think that if once Christianity can be purged o...

This paper was read before the S. T. C. on March 10th of this year, at one of the ordinary meetings of the Brotherhood. It is published now in the hope that it may thus reach a wider circle.To suppose that any one can hold the Catholic doctrine of the Incarnation without believing the miraculous Conception and Birth, is, in the writer’s opinion, a delusion. There is no trace in Church History, so far as he is aware, of any believers in the Incarnation who were not also believers in...

It is to this attempt that attention is largely directed in the paper which follows. It is historically certain that the Christian Church sprang from and was founded on a belief in the literal Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. This belief was not a gradual growth in any sense. It dates from the very morrow of t...

These mesmerizing short stories offer a dozen glimpses into the experience of Venice, its people and its surprises, written during the author's sabbatical stay in Cannaregio.

Reclaiming the Soul of Your Faith is a provocative invitation for people, especially that growing segment of the population who say they are "spiritual, not religious," to examine what a faith looks like beyond the usual confines of organized religion.
