Excerpt from The Teaching and Influence of Saint Augustine: An Essay, With Particular Reference to Recent Misapprehensions

Greek and the Latin Fathers, have been put under examination. While there have been found natural variations, such as one would expect, from the distinc tion between the Eastern and the Western type of mind, habits of thought, surroundings, or climatic in fluence; or as between the first century and the fourth or fifth, in the advancement of civilization, the growth of the Church, or the power of the State, a thorough investigation, as we believe, has not revealed those radical differences which some have claimed between the orthodox East and the orthodox West; - as if the Greek and the Latin theologies had notning in common upon the broad, underlying truths, e.g. Of the presence of God in the world or in the Church, the Incarnation of our Lord, Divine grace, human sin and human freedom.
