To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Some other definition is therefore required. Several different attempts have been made to find such a definition. The essential element we are in search of has been defined as a belief in the moral order of the world, involving the postulation of a supreme power which institutes such order, and which BEING OR ESSENCE OF RELIGION. 193 causes it ultimately to triumph. (This is the doctrine of Bunsen, Eauwenhoff, and to some extent that of Kant also. ) But this view depends upon the hypo- thesis t...hat religion originates in ethics, and upon an identification of the moral with the religious principle, a view which we shall afterwards impugn. I should be more inclined to agree with those who seek the source of religion in our experience of the fact that in every religion, albeit in countless different ways, a belief in God's supremacy over the world and man- kind is combined with a belief in man's kinship with God. Here, therefore, we find a belief in God as the Infinite, the Illimitable, who is the perfect substance of all that is highest in our inward nature, though it be but finite and limited, combined with a belief in ourselves, as created in God's image, for the purpose of striving ceaselessly to attain to His perfection.
