Description

Excerpt from The Sources of the Morality of the Gospels Nearly fourteen hundred years ago the idea was conceived of dividing the history of mankind into two eras. The four or six thousand years which rival Biblical interpreters believed to embrace the whole period before the appearance of Christ were the age of darkness, of sin, of weird hallucinations. The gospel of Christ had inaugurated a new era. It had fallen on the dark chaos of human imagining and endeavour with the suddenness of a tropical sunrise. By it, henceforward, whoever willed might guide his steps to higher things, and the drama of life would be, in essence, the struggle of the passion or the pride of man against the revealed standard. A few centuries, possibly a few thousand years, might be granted for the unfolding of this singular drama. Then the breath of an angry God would scorch the canopy of the heavens and the plains of the earth, and the world of flesh and sense would exist no longer, and the countless millions of men and women who had stood their trial in it would find themselves confronting, not the humble prophet of Nazareth, but a figure clothed with all the terror and majesty of the Infinite.
