To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Martineau, in his " Types of Ethical Theory, " while he refrains from discussing " how it was that the new habits of self-knowledge " brought in by Christianity " ripened into no systematic ethics, " mentions one disturbing cause, which " from its vast and protracted operation is too important to be overlooked. " " The Augustinian theology, " he continues, " is founded upon a sense of sin so passionate and absolute as to plunge the conscience into unrelieved shadows. It pledges itself to find t...races everywhere of the lost condition of humanity, in virtue of which there is no longer any freedom for good, and a hopeless taint is mingled with the very springs of our activity. This doctrine is evidently the utterance of a deep but despairing moral aspiration : it estimates with The Province of Christian Ethics. 9 such stern purity the demands of the Divine holiness upon us, that only the first man, fresh with unspoiled powers, was capable of fulfilling them ; and since he was false, the sole opportunity of voluntary holiness has been thrown away, and we must live in helpless knowledge of obligations which we cannot discharge.
