Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Seventh Vial: Consisting of Brief Comments on Various Scriptures 1. What improvement has Christianity accomplished, during eighteen centuries, in the condition of man? Christianity has brought life and immortality to light; but I would inquire, what improvement has the visible, manifest Christian dispensation wrought, in the moral and social condition of the nations where it has prevailed? Perhaps the silent records of Pompeii, and the living hum of Naples, would alone return a sufficient answer. At the time when Pompeii was overwhelmed, the inhabitants were assembled at the amphitheatre; a heathen and unchristian amusement, doubtless; but during the past year, the streets of Naples have been red with blood, shed in civil strife. On the classick shores of Sicily, in the "most beautiful city in the world," an infuriated populace turned cannibal, and devoured their victims.
