To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Some have firmly believed that the truth lay wholly in an opposite direction, and so have embraced the theory of the pre-existence, the super-angelic glory of Christ, as being the first-born of the creation of God, constituting Digitized by Google KELATION OF CHBIST TO GOD. 147 a sacred companionship in the otherwise lonely majesty of heaven, the sharer and almost the equal in essence with the Supreme, waiting that fulness of ti...me which should bring him in human form to this earth. One may hold this belief as millions have held it, and still be in all strictness a Unitarian ; for Unitarianism is commit- ted simply to a distinction between God and Christ, — a distinction which subordinates Christ to God. Cer- tainly here is a wide range for faith, — wide enough for every phase of mental conception, wide enough to fill out every form of language, every shaping of thought, which we find in the Scriptures. We must distinguish between God and Christ, and the attempt to confound .them would to us require a yielding up of the most ex- plicit statements of the New Testament, which give added distinctness to our conceptions of both those be- ings by assigning to each a work that individualizes their relation to us.
