To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We would fain gather from it — and especi- ally from the supreme moments of its creative activity — ^an inspfration for our own life ; and at the root of this desire is the conviction that these great moments witnessed the entrance of some ele- ment of high value which they can transmit to us, whereas we oursdves could never have discovered it. Thus we reverently appropriate the golden period of Greek culture, the beginnings of Chris- tianity, the dawn of the Modem world ; and this we could not... do if we did not feel that these great epochs were not wholly involved in time, but that, amid aU that was peculiar to thefr own age, there 4S RELIGION AND HISTORY was some element in them that transcended tune, and could be transmitted to all times. Now if we unite these several epochs in om* thought, we obtain a picture of spiritual history and of our relation to it very different from the dissolving view with which we started — a view so changeful as to threaten the very existence of truth.
