The Secret of the Lord Introduction and Annotations by Carroll F. Burcham

THIS book is a series of addresses on the sayings and doings of Jesus during the days of a religious retreat held in the neighborhood of Caesarea Philippi. This withdrawal of Jesus to the quiet of the hills which cluster round the northern end of the valley of the Jordan has been strangely neglected. Its momentousness as an epoch in His life, and the depth and significances of its teaching, have been overlooked. The purpose of these studies is to set the events of this quiet season and its solemn words in relation to the purpose of Christ’s life and death, and to expound their teaching for faith and righteousness. The title of the book has been chosen not for the music of its sound, but for the fitness of its meaning. To His chosen disciples, in those days of seclusion, at the summit level of His ministry, Jesus disclosed “The Secret of the Lord.”
