Excerpt from Sermons on the Manifestation of the Son of God: With a Preface, Addressed to Laymen, on the Present Position of the Clergy of the Church of EnglandThese things are indications that the doubt of the age must be dealt With openly and directly. But the tacit and sometimes unconscious unbelief of Christi ans is a fact which concerns us more than the open denials of unbelievers, it is of vaster dimensions, and touches our honour and our safety more closely. It is a more serious thing to a clergyman to fear that whilst he is using the language of the Church the people are only half believing it, than to know that a few educated persons are proclaiming a total unbelief. And it must be remembered that the clergyman Will partly infer the want of faith of the people from what he is conscious of in himself, there is no gulf fixed between the minds of the clergy and of the laity. When therefore it is affirmed in such a manner as to excite general attention throughout Europe, and with no one knows how much acqui%cence, that J esus of Nazareth was only a remarkable man, and not the Son of God, We are led to ask ourselves with what degree of positive belief the Lord Jesus Christ is actually recognised by Christians as the Living Ruler of the World. The inquiry, to be Worth anvthing, must be addressed to the philosophy, the literature.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
