He began by the Psalms, then took the books of Solomon, then he would come to Job. After going through this course of Old Testament history he would come to the Gospels and then to the Acts and the Epistles. After this preparation he would turn to the Prophets, who had foretold all that the Gospels related, and ended by allowing his disciples to read the historical Books of the Old Testament, which might, he thought, without such previous training, trouble and perplex them.—Translator’s Note.[120]From M.

In one sense that is true. But if I hold that Christianity has given the best and truest expression to what the old world had tried to express in various and less perfect ways, I have at least given the facts on which I rely.”—Anthropological Religion, p. 388.[129]On this subject Max Müller says: “The ancient Fathers of the Church spoke on these subjects with greater freedom than we venture to use in these days.”—Chips from a German Workshop, vol. i., Pref. xxix.[130]Chips from a German Workshop, vol. i., Pref. xxix.[131]In the seventh century the Personality was clearly set forth in the Athanasian Creed.[132]Science of Thought, p. 568.[133]Ibid., p. 569.[134]Ibid., p. 570.[135]Max Müller,Anthropological Religion, p. 171.[136]There isonein the way in which St Paul speaks: “There is one body, and one spirit, even as also ye were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in all.”[137]As Savonarola said: “Yes, from the Church militant, but not from the Church in Heaven,” in answer to his excommunication.

[105]Dante at one time was of this opinion. “In hisIl Volgare Eloquio, lib. 1, cvi. p. 155, he says: ‘It was the Hebrew idiom which was uttered by the lips of the first man who ever spoke in this world!’ This idea was afterwards relinquished by him, as in theParadisohe puts these words into the mouth of Adam:—‘The language I did useWas worn away or ever Nimrod’s raceTheir unaccomplishable work began.’“The oldest form of human speech still remains lost in the darkness of antiquity.”—Quoted fromDante in Ravennaby Miss Phillimore.

[119]We find from a letter of St Jerome’s to Paula that he was in the habit of advising his disciples to read the Scriptures, which he so reverenced, in the following order. He began by the Psalms, then took the books of Solomon, then he would come to Job. After going through this course of Old Testament history he would come to the Gospels and then to the Acts and the Epistles. After this preparation he would turn to the Prophets, who had foretold all that the Gospels related, and ended by allowing his disciples to read the historical Books of the Old Testament, which might, he thought, without such previous training, trouble and perplex them.—Translator’s Note.

[128]This study of religions hardly gives sufficient prominence to Christianity; Max Müller says: “I make no secret that true Christianity, I mean the religion of Christ, seems to me to become more and more exalted the more we know and the more we appreciate the treasures of truth hidden in the despised religions of the world.”—Introduction to the Science of Religion, p. 28.“It may be said that my chief object has been to magnify Christianity, by showing that it is the fulfilment of all that the world has been hoping and striving for. In one sense that is true. But if I hold that Christianity has given the best and truest expression to what the old world had tried to express in various and less perfect ways, I have at least given the facts on which I rely.”—Anthropological Religion, p. 388.
