...least three impotant publications representing Harvard teaching, the ground is taken that Christ was not superior to Jewish error in his time. If this were true, there would be no help for it.

But the opinion that truth did not find a Master in Christ wholly superior to all Jewish error is solely the result of not sifting the sources of our knowledge of Christ.
