Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Seminary: Its Spirit and Aims: Addresses Given at the Annual Dinner of the Alumni Held on May 13, 1907 and a Review of the Year 1906-1907 It is a presumption on my part, even by request, to attempt to formulate in the name of the great spiritual fellowship of Union Theological Seminary, the Christian message. If that message were an opinion, or set of opinions, I would not dare to do it. A small uncultured group can unite on opinions, but the more intelligent we grow the more impossible is it to agree on opinions. It is not opinion but purpose that unites the faculty of Union Seminary. It is not opinion but purpose that binds together the great and increasing Alumni body whose zeal and enthusiasm are our constant inspiration. The world would be a stupid place if we all had one opinion. The charm and inspiration of many a social family meeting of the Seminary are the vast variety of opinions, born of honest conviction on the basis of special study. We have no fears in talking out our hearts, for there burns in our midst the great common purpose, with clearer and clearer light. This is our enthusiasm, this our bond of Union. It was my lot, as I returned last year from Europe, to spend a short three days - rainy days and cold they were - in venerable Rome. Never was the old impression stronger upon me than in those three days, of how the beautiful older medievalism had overlaid the Christ with the gaudy garments of mythology. The God and Father of our Lord Jesus was simply lost amidst the Virgin Mary images, the pictures of the infant Jesus and the kneeling, bejewelled ecclesiastics. It is not a grateful task to tear aside the veil so patiently but so mistakenly woven. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
