Rare refreshing synthesis of theology and experientialism

Scanned paperback reprint of Walter (not William) Thomas Conner's 1937 edition. The late professor of Theology at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Fort Worth, gently and ably expounds experiential Christianity in the forms and terms of Biblical Theology. The modern reader is left aghast and irritated that the present chasm between Fundamentalists and Liberal Christians even exists. It's not that Conner sucessfully bridges the divide but that his writing pre-exists the rift. Conner's understandings of Theology so powerfully relates the Christian experience that one cannot walk away without a renewed and refreshed view of the Bible and its interpretation. This reaction is astounding given that a close associate, Stewart A Newman, noted that Conner was quite the literalist.
