Excerpt from God's City and the Coming of the Kingdom The Church of God - everything conspires to make this the immediate subject round which all religious discussions turn, and towards which all the profoundest spiritual interests are set. Socially, we are compelled to demand a corporate Christian society. Individualistic forms of belief have become impossible. Intellectually and dogmatically, it has become increasingly clear that in the fact of the Incarnation lies the secret of Christ. And, when once the attention is concentrated on the Incarnation, the old argument, so excellently rehearsed by F. D. Maurice in "The Kingdom of Christ," begins to bite home.
