This book is addressed to all Gentiles, whether Christians or otherwise.
The words "Catholic" and "Protestant" are not to be found in it.
It is historical and analytical in treatment, not doctrinal.
It is not "preachy" - it is not irreverent. It is factual.
It is not iconoclastic; but it does draw a line of demarcation between Christianity and the primitiveness of Judaism.
Those who say, "It makes no difference from what race Christ came," are wrong, for that is only a personal attitude, ignoring the historical truth, and "Half truth is whole error."
It is the Jewish writers who insist that Christ was of their race.
Reason tells us that Christ was not a Jew, history confirms the dictates of reason, and Christ said, "We do not gather grapes of thorns or figs of thistles."
This book shows how and why that error originated, and why it must be rectified. It is vital to Christianity.
