To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The case of a Judas, who is so grieved as to go out and hang himself, is quite un- usual, and probably denotes that the man, so far from being a desperate or hopeless evil-doer, is somewhat tender-hearted, and therefore a promising subject for moral recovery. Remorse depends not so much upon a high degree of guilt as upon sensitive- ness, imagination, sympathy, which, when violated, react in pain. The remorse of the saints is perhaps more common than the remorse of the sinners. Another frequent... ethical term is guilt. It is strictly a forensic or theological word. Our blame of a man carries not only disfavor, but a certain condemnation. The judge pronounces him guilty of crime. The law SHAME, GUILT, AND DESERT 253 prescribes certain penalties or consequences. There are always also natural consequences that follow guilt. What is it, then, to incur the taint of guilt? There is doubtless an important fact of consciousness here. Man is no automaton, merely played upon by forces from without; he is a conscious life; the sources of his action are within.
