Two doctrines exist in the world, that of Moralism, which affirms man's rightful subjection to nature and society; and that of the Christ, or Divine Mun, which affirms man's rightful subjection only to God; and these two are so contrary one to the other as to fill the whole earth with the dust and the noise of their contention. Let us enquire to which of them the eventual triumph is due. In the four gospels, Christianity or the doctrine of a Divine Natural Humanity, is set forth under a double aspect, a literal and a spiritual one. The Christ, or Divine Man, claims for himself a double advent, one fleshly and humble, arising from the opposition of nature and society, the other spiritual and glorious, arising from the consent of nature and society. Not only does the Christ challenge to himself this double advent, but he invariably makes the humble one necessary to the glorious one, makes the one an inseparable basis or condition of the other. If we ask the philosophy of this connection, if we ask the reason why God cannot perfectly reveal Himself in humanity, without first revealing Himself imperfectly; why He cannot reveal Himself in a manner to engage the cordial acknowledgment of society, without first revealing Himself in a manner to provoke its contempt and denial; we shall find ourselves instantly referred to the end or object which God proposes in c...Hide synopsis
