To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The reader will perhaps naturally suppose that when we placed Dr. Bushnell's name at the head of this article, we had in mind the theological agitation caused throughout the country, and especially in Con- necticut, by his somewhat celebrated volume, enti- tled, " God in Christ" Such was not the case. As 267 to the merits of that controversy, which is not jet set- tled, we have here nothing to say, either in approval or condemnation of Dr. Bushnell. We make no pre- tensions to theological acqui...rements, and are not competent to discuss, much less decide, the points in dispute. But we look upon Dr. Bushnell as one of the most profound agitators of the age. We think in reference to theological matters, that the spirit of the age is in him. The drift of his published writings is continually toward a liberal, unsectarian, and practi- cal Christianity. He makes deadly war upon mere creeds, and urges most earnestly upon the christian world a better practice. " Deeds, not words," is the essence of the religion he preaches.
