1922. William Jennings Bryan, gifted speaker, lawyer, three-time presidential candidate, and devout Protestant writes in the Preface that: In these lectures I have had in mind two thoughts, first, the confirming of the faith of men and women, especially the young, in a Creator, all-powerful, all-wise, and all-loving, in a Bible, as the very Word of a Living God and in Christ as Son of God and Savior of the world; second, the applying of the principles of our religion to every problem in life. My purpose is to prove not only the fact of God, but the need of God, the fact of the Bible and the need of the Bible, and the fact of Christ and the need of a Savior. Contents: In the Beginning-God; The Bible; What Think Ye of Christ?; The Origin of Man; The Larger Life; The Value of the Soul; Three Priceless Gifts; His Government and Peace; and The Spoken Word.
