Excerpt from The Memoirs of Jesus

Now it is this Person, the tout ensemble of His life and character, which is the great Revelation Of God. It is this Person who, patiently studied and understood, seems to step out of the simple pages and approach the reader with a majesty which commands, and a tenderness which allures, all but the hardest and most corrupt of human hearts. Men brought up like John Stuart Mill in a traditional contempt for the religion Of Jesus have even in a time of most unimaginative materialism been arrested by the Person in these Gospels and constrained to say that they could think of no better rule of life than so to act as would win the approval of Jesus. Light-hearted lz'ttemteurs like Ernest Renan have, along the lines Of simple historical in quiry, met the Person in these Gospels and been compelled to utter a cry Of admiration and love, and to sing His praises in prose.
