Excerpt from The Founder of Christendom: An Address Delivered Before the Unitarian Club of Toronto The demand for a second edition of this address, delivered to the Unitarian Club of Toronto and published at their instance, seems to show that the address has attracted the attention of some who sympathize with its general views. That traditional belief in supernatural Christianity has been overthrown or shaken in many minds by the advance of criticism and science is evident. Criticism applied to the historical character of the Gospels, as well as to the evidence of the miraculous generally, has caused many to doubt, many to reject, the Christian miracles. The creeds repose on the Atonement; the Atonement assumes the Fall and the Fall seems to have been disproved by science, which has demonstrated that man, instead of falling, was raised by evolution from a lower order of being.
