To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The matter is assuredly not with- out interest for the history of belief. It is significant for the atmosphere of thought in which Jesus was educated, and which he probably shared. But no finality can attach to a single item in a plexus of ideas which history has rent asunder. We may recog- nize with reverence the sense of human guilt which thrills through the awful pictures of retributive justice in the New Testament, and yet insist that their sym- y Google 30 The Place of Immortality bolic fo...rms must be unhesitatingly discarded in reliance on the principles of the Teacher who employed them. The moral demand of Israel, from the first of its great prophets to the last, for the vindication of the righteous order of the world, is no less clear than that of India, though the manner in which it was applied to life was different ; while the hints afforded by the apostle Paul, of a final triumph of good when the hostile forces of rule and authority and power shall all have been brought to nought, and death itself is subject to the victorious Son, who in turn submits himself beneath the creative might that God may be all in all, point clearly, though without precise definition, to that ultimite unity of all things in God in which alone our faith and hope can find per- manent repose.
