Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Apology for Rational and Evangelical Christianity, Vol. 1: A Discourse The gospel, we see, disdains to owe its influence to the fears of a superstitious temper, or the enthusiasm of a heated fancy. It requires of us only a reasonable service. It demands no tribute, but the homage of the understanding. It accepts no incense, but the secret sigh of the broken and contrite heart. Our bodies, purified from all guilty passions, are the only victims, it calls us to present on its altars; and it is the fire of divine charity alone, which descends from heaven to consume our spiritual holocaust. Christianity, then, is a religion addressed solely to the intellectual and moral nature of man. Our text implies this truth, when it directs us never to decline to submit the grounds of our Christian hope to the tribunal of enlightened reason. It teaches also, that we are not to be indifferent to the manner, in which our fellow men regard our religious sentiments; and this obligation, I conceive, extends not only from Christians to unbelievers, but from one Christian to another. There exist - it is but too well known - among the different communities of Christians, some peculiar modes of regarding the truths of the gospel; and it is fitting, according to the spirit of our text, that we should be ready to justify these modes of thinking to our fellow-believers.
