About the Book

Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: ON THE SUPERIOR EXCELLENCE OF THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION. The religion of the Gospel is the only one which has ever yet appeared among mankind, which is adequate to all the instinctive desires and expectations of the human mind. 1 am not now to speak of the excellence of this religion, or of its accommodation to all the wants and all the wretchedness of a being like man. I am to speak of it only as compared with the conclusions of human wisdom, as they appear either in the ancient or in the modern world. Both of them are before us; and from both I am persuaded the thoughtful mind must draw the same conclusion. If we look to the ancient world, ?to that period when science and philosophy had attained, through progressive ages, to their highest point of improvement, we see them terminating uniformly in doubt and indecision; we see various schools with various principles, ?some leading to piety, others to atheism; the great mass of the people left (and left willingly) to the dominion of superstition, ?and the wise concluding all their inquiries, either in the belief that these subjects were beyond the reach of human thought, or in the ardent prayer that the Deity would at last reveal himself to the inquiries of his creatures. If we look to the world as it at present exhibits itself in every country unvisited by the Gospel, we see it covered with varieties of imposture and superstition; the great principles of religion buried under the mass of barbarous rites or unproductive ceremonies; and the wise and the thoughtful retiring from the delusions of the vulgar into the dark shade of doubt and scepticism. If, from these melancholy prospects, you turn your eye to the religion of the Gospel, you see a system which even its enemies acknowledge to be a system of religious and of moral grandeur..
