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


and fanatic zeal ; whose zeal, indeed, might outrun prudence and turn to frenzy, yet for that very reason could be counted on when the battle would be hope- less without just that aid, — the sharp edge of attack, the obstinate heroism of defence. In fact, the Church had two such bodies of reserve : one for the time of persecution in the conflict against Paganism, — the Martyrs; one for the time of organized conquest that followed, in the conflict against Barbarism, — the Monastics. It is necess
...ary to say a word on the motive common to them both.
We must not forget — at the earlier stage, espe- cially, of the conflict we are considering — that Chris- tianity presents itself to us in the form of a moral reaction, or protest, against the gross inhumanities and corruptions of Pagan society. This reaction would be mild with some natures, violent with others. So much we may easily understand. But what it was, precisely, that it reacted against, requires some knowl- edge of obscure authorities and some hardihood of speech to show.
