Excerpt from Christ the Spirit, Vol. 1: Being an Attempt to State the Primitive View of ChristianityThe reader, if he chooses, may transform the Irish deserter into the august figure of Truth, for the pur pose of running a parallel between its seekers and the pursuers of the deserter and, now, we may consider that, possibly, the Truth may be found where the second class of thinkers are positive that it cannot be discovered.With regard to the Scriptures, the most simple see the Truth in the literal sense another class see nothing but absurdities and nonsense, mere rubbish, in the lit eral meaning, and so, perhaps proudly, reject the whole, while another class, more sober and grave-perhaps Older and more experienced - are disposed to suspend their Opinions for a time, until they can look around and see whether the meaning is so visibly on the sur face as the first supposes, and may not lie even deeper than the second imagines.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
