To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He was continually raking up the dead leaves of tradition and lopping off the dry twigs of lifeless dogma; but he always regarded Nature as his teacher, not as his pupil. In constructing his system he would rather build in a truth whose rugged outline marred the symmetry of the structure than dwarf that truth under the chisel until it should conform to his own pretty plan. If thus the architect dis- credited his own plan, he at least paid a tribute to the superior worth of the material with whi...ch he wrought. Dr. Robinson believed in and taught a rational theology. He cared nothing for words except as they gave expression to reality. He was constantly looking through the formula to the fact, and discarding tradition for truth. He revered historic creeds, as statements of belief which have been formed after profound experience and which signalize the victories and the progress of Christian truth ; but he scouted the idea that any divine fact or truth can be exhaustively measured by finite minds, or that there has been or ever can be an ultimate dogma in theology.
