To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" A great man, " it has been said, " con- PERSON OF OUR LORD 37 demns the world to the task of explaining him. " That is to say, we cannot but think of a great man who has lived and has spoken, and is gone. We mean by " a great man " one particularly who has been great in the Spiritual side of his nature. We mean a man of vision, who speaks a new word from God, a word intelligible to us now that it has been spoken, a word concerning the depths and the silences of our mysterious and unrealized l...ife. Henceforth we must see the whole of life through that man's eyes ; or we must have rea- son for refusing so to see it. If he is a true prophet of the Invisible God, and if we have really heard his voice, we fall under his author- ity and cannot disregard him even though his word conflicts with our own habits and worldly interests. We must either confute him and so be done with him, or we must accept him and live on the bread from heaven which he has brought to us, or — most miserable of human 38 THE AUTHORITY AND conditions — we must go on our old ways as though we had not heard the Call of God in him, in a horrible uneasiness and want of honour — for we know that there is some One knocking at our door and we are simply pre- tending that we do not hear.
