To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Christian conduct con- founded heathen critics who criticized the Christians for theil unreasonable love for aliens. This, more than all else, however, was the power that con- quered. It won men's hearts. It convinced them of the sincerity of apostolic teaching and of the abiding presence and power of Christ, even though He had vanished from human sight. For to love one's friends, splendid though it be, is human. Do not even the Gentiles the same? But to love one's enemies — those who hate and ...seek to harm — that is divine. Only divine power living in human hearts can restrain the natural desires for revenge, and in their place make love supreme. Only love like that of Jesus can enable the disciple Ideals and Practice of the Churches 49 to enter into the world-redeeming work of Jesus and make effective His atoning life and death. But where in modern Christendom do we find in practice this love of enemies? Where is it systematically taught? What churches insist upon it as an essential condition of mem- bership ?
