Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Dublin Review, Vol. 32 Even the recent researches into the authenticity of the Gospels, provoked by the assaults of Strauss and his impious school, who had ascribed a mythic origin to Christianity, have but brought into clearer prominence the substantial reality - the historic truthfulness of those sacred writings. The evidences of religion can wonderfully adapt themselves to various degrees of intellectual culture, to various classes of life, to various habits and tempers of mind, and to various epochs of society. We must not suppose that it is the learned alone who can show a reasonable obedience, or who can give a reason for the faith that is in them. The educated of course, according to the measure of their talents and information, take a wider survey, and possess a deeper insight into the truths of Revelation; but independently of the gift of faith, those truths often come home to the reason of the vulgar uneducated mind. An unlettered peasant could not of course, like Clarke or Fenelon, give an elaborate demonstration of the being of a God; but the enunciations of Revelation, and the testimony of reason and conscience on that fundamental article of all belief, he could prove after his own homely fashion. An illiterate Arab was once asked, how he felt assured of the existence of God. "In the same manner," he replied, "as I know by the foot-prints on the sand, that a man or a beast has there passed by." So an unlearned Catholic - one who has received no more than an elementary instruction in his religion, when he sees a con¿rmed libertine, or an habitual drunkard (difficult as is conversion in the latter case especially), suddenly reclaimed by the sacrament of Penance, will here discern a palpable roof of the divinity of his faith.
