They receive the facts recorded of his life and death as the ground of confidence in Him as the Sav- ior of the world. They believe in that Christ who appeared in Judea eighteen cen- turies ago, and rest their hopes of salvation upon his finished work. But Christ, like any character in history, is with them only an object of outward contemplation. Others have a dog...matic Christ : the Christ of the catechism and the schools. They be- lieve in the atonement, in the doctrine of jus- tification by faith alone, in the mediation of Jesus as their great High-Priest ; in a word, in all those doctrines called Orthodox.
