To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We are in the presence of a new science, the science of comparative religion ; and men are found, strangely enough, trembling lest the comparison should diminish the claims of the religion in which they have found their life. But if the resemblances which are traced are genuine, we must welcome them as pointing to a truer and a grander claim for Christi- anity than that exclusiveness which has often been asserted, the claim namely of standing supreme, surrounded by supports and witnesses whose ...sound goes forth to the ends of the world. It is the claim to embody and complete whatever elements of truth are found in the other religions. If Greece had its heroes and demigods, what was this but a witness to the divine in humanity which is realised in Christ ? If Egypt taught the divine in animal life, and Africa the divine in inanimate things, is not even this recognised when Christ is declared to be the first- born of all the creation } If the Vedas saw God's power in Indra, the giver of rain, and Rita the universal law, Christ tells, only in a nobler sense, of the Father who makes his rain to descend on the evil and on the good, of One whose will is eternal life to His creatures.
