" ^'' The development of a sense of individual moral obligation towards the gods can also be traced, at the beginning of the Christian era, in the history of the Greeks and of the Romans. " Man is an individ- ual, and as such has certain obligations and responsi- bilities toward the gods, " writes J. B. Carter in his Religious Life of Ancient Rome. " These obliga- tions are no longer primarily social; they are dis- tinctly personal, and man is conscious that he has not fulfilled them. To add to... the seriousness of the situation, not only is human life very short and uncertain but the world itself is coming to an end. " ^^ The breaking down of the national hope and pride, the appearance of the individualistic spirit and of personal relations with the gods, taken in connection with the realization of the spiritual greatness of man — a greatness which is only the more clearly implied in the moral disgust so characteristic of the Romans of the period to which I have referred — constituted a situation altogether favorable to the appearance of a belief in a future life conceived of as a fulfillment of man's most precious ideals.
