Excerpt from The Presbyterian and Reformed Review, Vol. 6: July, 1895 Approaching now the question of his theology, we may ask the question which it is well to apply to all preachers and all thinkers of all schools, Christ's own question concerning Himself, What think ye of Christ? It is wonderfully true of Bishop Brooks that his whole preaching was a prolonged and glowing tribute of praise, and honor, and glory to our Lord Jesus Christ. It is said that he once answered, being asked what sermon he would preach, I only have one sermon. He might have adopted in his own way the exclamation of Count Zinzendorf, I have but one passion; it is He. His whole thinking continually revolves about His Per son, in reverent delight over His humanity and His divinity, glory ing in His life and death, and appealing to all men to believe and obey Him. While we must rejoice in this and in the saving power that therefore followed his ministry, the moment we press further into his doctrine concerning our Lord's Person, the more surprising, and, to our view, the more deplorable, is his evident departure from the theology of the Episcopal Church, as from the view of the im mense majority of Christians in all ages. His doctrine of the Per son of Christ - ever the key to any man's whole idea of the Gos pel - colors, and, as we think, greatly lowers his ideas both of the man Christ Jesus, of God Himself, of humanity, redeemed and un redeemed, altering with it the work of Christ for our salvation. His view of Christ is expressed with great clearness in a sermon with the significant title of, The Eternal Humanity, on the text.
