To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The loftier estimate of the personality of Jesus and the more devout reverence for him seldom find expression in the writings of the time, although contemporary art gives unmis- takable evidence of their presence in the community. Great importance is universally attributed to Jesus's death, but defi- nite explanation and justification of it are wanting. Writers dwell for the most part upon the belief that Jesus had destroyed the power of evil spirits, and had begun a regeneration of man- kind. ...Yet, profounder speculations also appear. Thus, Ire- nseus believed that in Christ the eternal became human, that what was mortal was absorbed by the immortal, and that there- by we, too, become sons of God. Only in this manner could the mutable be raised to the immutable. This process of reasoning was permanently adopted by the Greek Church. How men thought regarding the essence of Christianity ap- pears also from the manner of its defence. On this point a shift- ing from particular to universal took place with the lapse of cen- turies.
