To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Thus, in Persia the poets known as Sufis embody a mystic teaching which is deeply tinged with Pantheism. This tone, however, is so thoroughly alien from the spirit of the earlier Moslem teachers that one of their theologians, by name Gazali, declared that it was more pleasing in the sight of God to slay one of these pantheizing mystics than to give life to ten men.^ At this point it seems right to observe that as, on the one hand, there will always be those who do not act up to the teaching and... spirit of a true creed, or who even, in Pauline language, *hold the truth in unrighteousness;' so also, on the other hand, there have been, and still are, both individuals and bodies of men who are better than their creed, and of whom one feels inclined to think more hope- fully than of many whose knowledge is clearer and nearer to the truth. Thus, for example, the elder Pliny, who, in his Natwral History, speaks scoflQjigly of things divine and the idea of a life to come, yet, in his devotion to duty and his ardour for scientific truth, might put to shame many believers in holier things.
