Mr. Kidd, in his Social Evolution, fully recognizes the fact that western civilization is largely indebted to Christian ity for its marvelous progress. Christianity only promotes the highest progress when it is in harmony with the spirit of its Master. The Christ is certainly the great central figure of our modern civilization.
Christ is the true interpreter of God. It has been correctly said that man is the noblest work of God, and we can just as truly say that a proper conception of God is the noblest work of man. A true knowledge of God has been a matter of pro gressive development. It is said that photographers can not take pictures of the great peaks of the Alps as a whole, but are compelled to take them in sections, and then put these sections together in order to make a complete picture. So man was not cap-able of grasp-ing a full conception of God at once; but God had to gradually reveal himself to man. Revelation itself was progressive. As Jesus has taught, it was first the blade, then the ear, and, afterwards the full corn in the ear. Man in the childhood of the race was-not prepared for the full revelation given through the Christ. It required centuries of prep-ara tion. The student of the Bible knows that Jehovah was at first the God of the patriarchs, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. He was looked upon as the God of Abraham's tribe, and of his posterity. When Israel became a nation, Jehovah became the God of the nation. While the prophets had a very high conception of God, it remained for the Christ to fully reveal unto us the true nature of the Father.

Other policies
Please note that we cannot accept cancellation requests once an order has been placed.
All Forgotten Books titles are printed on demand. The moment an order is submitted, it is automatically transmitted to our distributor and then forwarded to the printer, where it enters production. This process begins within minutes and is entirely automated.
A cancellation, however, is a manual, multi-step request that must pass through several systems. By the time such a request reaches the appropriate stage, the book has almost always been printed, packed, or already dispatched, which makes cancellation impossible.
For this reason, we kindly ask that you double-check the title, edition, and your shipping details before placing an order.
If you change your mind after ordering, you are welcome to return the book once it arrives, and a refund will be issued in accordance with AbeBooks’ return policy.
Please also make sure your address is correct before ordering as we will no be able to intervene and make changes before the book is shipped.
We can provide digital samples for all our print books ahead, so don't hesitate to reach out.
Returns

If you’re returning for another reason, however, please consider whether you could donate or gift the book instead so that it avoids the waste pile.
