Christianity Dependent upon History
“If the saving work of Christ were confined to what he does now for every Christian, there would be no such thing as a Christian gospel – an account of an event which put a new face on life… It must certainly be admitted, then, that Christianity does depend upon something that happened; our religion must be abandoned altogether unless at a definite point in history Jesus died as a propitiation for the sins of men. Christianity is certainly dependent upon history.”
