""The contents are made up largely of sermons comprising the collection of the late Z. T. Sweeney, who originated and planned the series and edited the volumes already distributed. The purpose of New Testament Christianity, as our friends may already know, is twofold; as Mr. Sweeney announced: 1. To let our preachers--especially our young preachers--get a clear insight into the aims of the Restoration movement. 2. To arm them for the defense of the movement."" --From the Foreword by Mrs. Z. T. Sweeney
