Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from National Idealism and a State Church: A Constructive Essay in Religion Speaking of St Paul´s idea of the Lord´s Supper as the unifying sign of fellowship among members of the Church, Dean Armitage Robinson says: "Paul, in this as in so many other instances, arrived at his interpretation through the exigencies of his special mission. His task of welding into one the Jewish and Gentile elements led him to develop the conception of the corporate unity of all Christians. Food has ever been the token of unity - the bond of equal intercourse. Refusal to take food together is the symbol of exclusiveness and caste distinction. The Jew could not, by the later Pharisaic ordinances, eat with the Gentile. If Christ were for Jew and Gentile alike, the Eucharist, the feast of the new and all-inclusive ´covenant,´ must be the common meal of Jew and Gentile. This in itself must have given it to Paul a special significance." I cite this passage because the principle underlying its reasoning contains the only apology I am anxious to offer for this book. I have arrived at my interpretation of the religious needs of England to-day through the exigencies of the work which now for well-nigh a score of years I have been carrying on in founding the Moral Instruction League and a number of Ethical Societies.
