To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Evils innumerable are visited upon men in this world, and a dread surmise springs up in the mind, unaided even by a revelation, that the present are not all the evils man may possibly endure at the hand of his offended and insulted Creator. But this idea is no longer vague and undetermined when we open the sacred volume. Here it shines forth with terrible clearness ; all doubt passes away ; God is holy, just, and true ; he will punish crime ; he will vindicate the claims of justice. Two views d...ivide mankind on this subject. One theory assumes as its basis, the principle of infinite benevolence : God is good, benevolent, and merciful. This is the controlling attribute of his nature ; in- deed, they virtually deny him any other, and say there is no such attribute as justice essential to his nature ; it is a contingency in the Creator. He may exercise justice, or he may omit its exercise ; he may punish crime, or he may omit its punishment. Vin- dictive justice belongs not to God. It is blasphemy, in the opinion of these men, to represent God as angry ; as a vindictive Being, marking sins as they occur, and pouring his wrath sooner or later upon the culprit.
