To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The emphasis everywhere is upon the active expression of the spirit through the Christian propaganda in order that the promised era may be the more speedily realized. There is no passive acceptance of the divine life and a beatific experience of super-worldy realities here and now. The message for man is that he must repent of sin, be baptized into spirit-endowment, live according to the dictates of the new righteousness, and seek followers for his master in earnest desire that by so doing the ...coming of the kingdom will be the more quickly brought to pass. It is in the writings of Paul where Christian mysticism enters to dispute the field with the natural and non-mystic elements of the new religion. Here the idea of the divine in the human comes into play for the first time in early Christian literature. This mystic item Paul received from his Hellenistic environment. The conception of God dwelling in a human body did not arise in his Jewish thinking. It is common knowledge that such a notion did not live happily among the Jewish people.
