Now let us consider the opposing view. That asserts that there is about this episode something more than human, and that its differences from all other religions and philosophies are more important than its resemblances. It is to man the supreme guarantee of a something more than the visible world and its development, even if that visible world be thought of as spiritual. It marks the entrance into this life of forces from a spirit world beyond, and in this sense is nothing if not other-worldly.... Of course its human aspects are not to be denied, and the chief perplexities arise from the refusal of Christians to treat the 188 CIVILISATION AT THE CROSS ROADS life of Jesus as a mere "theophany. " As Canon Simpson says 1 : "The history of Christian doctrine made it abundantly clear that men have found it harder to represent to them- selves the real manhood of the Son of God than the perfect Godhead of the Son of Man.
