Please click on the link to view William Burt Pope on Christianity as the Perfecting of Former Revelation from pp. 58-60 of the first volume of his 3-volume systematic theology, A Compendium of Christian Theology. The full 3-volume systematic theology can be accessed here. On page 61, he ends his treatment of Christian revelation with this summary:
The cumulative strength of these pleas, the line of which only has been indicated, is or should be irresistible. They have immense force as a moral demonstration of the claims of Christianity to be heard and weighed with the most profound solemnity. Not to listen to Christ is to be self-condemned. His words are the only response to the universal anticipation of the human race: as existing in the very constitution of the mind, as testified by the consent of nations, and as kept alive from the beginning by supernatural and gradual disclosures of the Divine will. Either God has thus finally spoken, or there is no God, and man is the incomprehensible creation of chance and the sport of the chance that created him.
