Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Essays (Second Series) On Some of the Difficulties in the Writings of the Apostle Paul: And in Other Parts of the New Testament It was my object in a former series of Essays to set forth the importance of an earnest and studious attention to the Christian revelation. There is a notion, more commonly entertained than acknowledged, that the Gospel is a mere authoritative republication of Natural Religion; - that consequently it is chiefly, if not solely, to those of unphilosophical and vulgar minds, incapable of perceiving the internal evidence of this Natural Religion, and the intrinsic beauty of virtue, that such a revelation is important or needful, - and that, to the more intelligent and refined, it matters little whether or not they inquire minutely into the particulars of that revelation, - whether they believe, or disbelieve, or doubt, its reality - or whether they even propose to themselves the question. With a view to counteract this (as it may be called) heresy of indifference, - in my view, the most deadly of all errors, not excepting Atheism, - I pointed out and dwelt on several peculiarities of the Christian Religion; points wherein the Gospel-scheme differs from all other systems of religion, - whether pretended revelations, or avowedly the offspring of human reason, - that have ever existed.
