The Truth of the Gospel
For For readers wanting a mid-century British Free Church primer of Christian doctrine; not for those after Caird's later New Testament scholarship.
Caird's first book, published by Oxford University Press in 1950 as the third part of A Primer of Christianity, a series from the same publisher. Library records give it about 170 pages. It appeared in the year he left a chair of Old Testament at St Stephen's College, Edmonton, for the chair of New Testament at McGill University in Montreal, a few years after his Oxford doctorate and his ministry at Highgate Congregational Church in London. As the series title says, it is a primer: a statement of Christian belief for the general reader rather than a work of research. No copy was examined for this record, so its arrangement and argument are not described here.
