To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Because Jesus in his own life and character, and by his precepts and parables, made God's truth to be justice and holiness directed by Fatherly love ; and man's life to be obedience to truth and duty — ^which he was not only capable of rendering, but capable of enjoying, and finding to be his chief and permanent bliss ; because Jesus made God's Father- hood and man's sonship correlative, transcendent truths, and illustrated them in his own person and character, Channing fastened his faith and a...ffections upon Christianity as the divinest method of advancing the kingdom of God on earth, and the salvation of man for time and eternity. As he understood or interpreted it, it was in exact accordance with what the highest human thought and feeling would wish it to be, and expect it to be. It met and satisfied his intellect and his conscience. It presented God in the most holy, just, and merciful character. It honored humanity by exhibiting it in the perfect siniessness and disinterested love and self- sacrifice of Jesus.
