Author Description

Excerpt from The Resurrection of Jesus Truly enough describes the attitude of many a loyal Christian when he says that he [the Christian] accepts the narratives of miracles and of the miraculous as they stand, but with a note of interrogation. 1 Others frankly reject them altogether. A chief difficulty in dealing with this widely-spread tendency is that it is, in most cases, less the result of reasoning than, as just said, a temper, due to what Mr. Balfour would call a psychological climate, 2 or Lecky would describe as the general intellectual condition of the time.3 Still, it is only by fair reasoning, and the adducing of considerations which set things in a different light, that it can be legitimately met apart, that is, from a change in the climate itself, a thing continually happening. When this is done, it is remarkable how little, in the end, it is able to say in justification of its sweeping assumptions.
