To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Business, industries of every kind, the arts and crafts, religion itself — all these have been brought under the spell of the modem man's con- fidence in his newly-acquired natural intelligence. The typical twentieth-century man does not make war upon religion; he is amiably tolerant towards it. It does not grip his soul. It does not shape his con- victions. It does not inspire his motives. It is looked upon as something which, for some, probably exercises a salutary influence, and is a good th...ing to have. Let me come straight to the point. If any one should ask, "Why is Lessing's judgment true; why, after the Christian Religion has been on trial for nineteen centuries, do we feel that we have a right to claim that the Religion of Christ is yet to be tried^" I would answer without hesitation: Because man, through pride of intelligence and trust in self, has made it possible for him to subject the Christian Religion to his opinions and ambitions, instead of io8 THE HEART OF THE WAR being subject unto it.
