Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Kingdom of God There are times when one wishes he had never read the New Testament Scriptures - that he might some day open St. Luke´s Gospel and the most beautiful book in the world might come upon his soul like sunrise. It is a doubtful fortune to be born in Athens and every day to see the Parthenon against the violet sky: better to make a single pilgrimage and carry for ever the vision of beauty in your heart. Devout Christians must be haunted by the fear that Jesus´ sublime words may have lost their heavenliness through our familiarity, or that they may have been overlaid by our conventional interpretations. This misgiving is confirmed by the fact that from time to time a fresh discovery is made in Jesus´ teaching. As a stranger, unfettered by tradition, will detect in a private gallery some masterpiece generations have overlooked, so an unbiassed mind will rescue from neglecting ages some lost idea of the Master. Two finds have been made within recent years; the Divine Fatherhood and the Kingdom of God. If any one will take the Gospels and read them, he will be amazed by the continual recurrence of this refrain, the "Kingdom of God" or "Heaven."
