To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The laws and institutions of the most enlightened governments are framed upon them. But we are asked to reconsider this consensus and verdict of the whole civilized world. And we are told how we must proceed. The book, though coming to us as a homogeneous and closely compacted whole, must be disintegrated. The chaff must be separated from the wheat. First, the Acts of the Apostles must be left out of the enquiry. Then the Epistles. Both these may form parts of a continuous chain of evidence ; a...nd, with the general structure of the narra- tive and with each other, may disclose minute coincidences which fraud or falsehood would never have thought of But, in dealing with Christ and Christianity, it is dis- honestly assumed, our business lies wholly with the four Gospels. How much of these shall be taken? Well, first there must be an elision, from Matthew and Mark, of every thing which involves the preternatural, — accounts of miracle, or prophetic fulfilment, or a superhuman Christ. Luke must not be accepted without larger deductions; because, ill-done as his work is at best, the materials for it were obtained at secondhand.
