To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The explanation of the inconsistency is not far to seek. The New Testament emphasizes some very deep and very important phases of our human life, its experiences, especially, of sin and sorrow. It offers thus the needed counterpoise to the ethics of the secular world, the morals of the natural man. But, to use a philosophic . formula, it is this world — this world of human ]/ ^ institutions, of business, of knowledge, art, polit- ical life, refinement, culture, power, self-asser- tion, civiliza...tion — it is this world of strength and natural greatness that forms the t}ie%%$ of our life. The New Testament tells us of self- denial, of sacrifice, of death and a life to come: this is the antithesis of our work-day life, of our week-day world. It would be a very false con- ception, a very unbalanced life, a very poor world, if this were all; if it could possibly take the place of the substance of our ordinary life, and become the thesis, instead of the antithesis. Human life reconciles the two views in a syn-- thesis that gives its due share, its rightful place, to each in a higher unity.
