Excerpt from An Old Religion: A Study

Mathew Arnold remarked that we cannot do Without Christianity and yet we cannot en dure it as it is. The Pauline, Calvanistic and anti-rational interpretations of Christian ity are not as popular to-day as some are apt to imagine, yet they form a large percentage of what is commonly called Christian thought and Christian teaching. The author of this essay seeks to disarm tradition of authority and so far as it is possible to rescue Christ ianty from the perils to which it has for 1800 years been exposed. No method of exegesis or no new rationale of interpretation is em ployed. Supernatural Christianity has lost its hold upon thoughtful minds and every where, by the testimony of human experience, the proof is positive that the church as the palladium of anti-christian doctrine or as the exponent of fetish revelations is her own destroyer.
