Overview

Excerpt from God in the Old Testament: Studies in Gradual Preception The use of the Old Testament in religious training is still a problem, both to teachers and parents. There is a tendency in some quarters to ignore the Old Testa ment or to use it only as a foil to the New. This is unfortunate as the positive contribution of the Hebrew Scriptures to the maintenance of personal religion is far greater than such neglect or depreciation would suggest. In dealing with this problem we need a combination of critical honesty and fearlessness with a sense of continued indebtedness to the record of God's progressive revelation. Such a union of criticism and devotion may be found in the present volume. It is the work of one who was himself a thoughtful, experienced and inspiring teacher. The manuscript was left practically complete but not finally revised by the author when he was taken from us by an early death. In many places it lacks the literary finish which is found in his other published work and which no editor can give without going beyond his office. With the minimum of necessary revision the book is now published, as a token of gratitude and love, by those who were Robert Aytoun's students at Woodbrooke. The book itself will show something of his qualities as a teacher, but it is only fitting that the witness of the book be prefaced by some few particulars of his life and Character.
