Christ and Humanity: With a Review, Historical and Critical, of the Doctrine of Christ's Person (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Christ and Humanity: With a Review, Historical and Critical, of the Doctrine of Christ's Person

Doubtless the secret of His person is practically dis closed to every true believer, as it was to Peter, by a divine revelation, or inward persuasion below the reach of the reasoning faculty to demonstrate or refute. But the intuitions of faith, while they never contradict, do not always satisfy the reason, or the world at large. Theology, after nearly eighteen centuries Of trial, has not yet mastered the problem, as is evident from the fact that no theory or creed yet framed explains per fectly the facts and impressions of the historic life. The conception of Christ constructed by the logic of the schools is not coincident with that perfect and single image given in the Gospels, still less with that which lives in the heart, and constitutes the practical and nu formulated faith of the Church.
