To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Can we understand what must have been the feelings of those young men, who were bidden to give up their pleasures, their festivals which were the charm of their life, the brilliant poetry which fascinated their imagination, and all this for a word rugged and uncouth as it was new, for a message of which it might justly be doubted, whether it were in a greater degree foolishness to the wise, or a stum- blingblock to men of the world. And yet that word had conquered. The ancient religions, long a...ssailed alike by the force ol reason and by the protests of conscience, at length fell, as Dagon fell before the Ark, on the day when outside the walls of Jerusalem, Jesus of Nazareth was nailed to the cross, in the midst of women who bewailed Him and a people who derided Him. Thus did the Wisdom of the old world pale before the Word which shed light upon life and immortality. Yes, the foolishness of God is wiser than the wis- dom of men. It was so then, it is so now. System after system has sprung up and perished.
