And yet is it not true that the great majority of Christendom still think of God as a body, as outlined, as localized, as living in some particular place, as sitting in some particular seat of power t But we must not look in church articles, if we want to find what the people really believe. Look at their poetry, their traditions, their myths, their stories. Dante tells us better than church articles what was the creed of the Middle Ages. In Dante, we find God in his Paradise^ withdrawn from si...ght indeed, in a cloud so brilliant that the eye of man could not look upon it ; and yet to Dante's thinking, and the thinking of the Middle Ages, God, in some sort of shape, outline, and power was there in that cloud as he was nowhere else. Take Paradise Lost as the expression of the faith of the English race. God there is simply another Jupiter, sitting on a throne Origin and Development of the Idea. 2*J in heaven and hurling thunder-bolts, organizing an army to drive out rebellious angels. And these angels, although they could not be mortally wounded, were capable of being thrust through with sjDcars, being shot with arrows, capable of hurl- ing craggy mountains through the air, and tumbling each other underneath their ragged ruins.
