Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Through Nature to Christ: Or, the Ascent of Worship Through Illusion to the Truth I desire to do then is, to inspire the belief that He was human, by showing that He worked upon the laws that govern humanity - spiritual laws, of course, but still the same spiritual laws that govern men. In other words, Christ wrought signs, forgave, con verted, manifested Himself to His disciples after death, and bequeathed His Spirit to us in accordance with the same laws by which common men perform corre sponding acts. Approaching Jesus of Nazareth in this way from the side of His humanity, we should, as it seems to me, be more likely to believe in Him, instead of believing facts about Him; and this kind of belief seems just now most needed and most rare. I know that one Obstacle to the worship Of Christ is the supposition that His influence does not cover all the departments Of human life. It is fancied - how idly I shall try to shew hereafterl - that Christ only teaches us morality, and that He has no attitude at all toward science, while He absolutely discourages art, and is hostile to the pleasures and graces of life. Fully to expose the absurdity Of such an assertion would be a task requiring more space than I can devote in a work not specially devoted to the Life of Christ but I hope to show at least that it is baseless, and to prove that if a man desires to Obey the precept Of Goethe and to live resolutely in the Whole, the Beautiful, and the Good, or, in other words, to give due homage to science, to art, and to morality, he cannot do this better than by striving to live in conformity with the spirit of Jesus of Nazareth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Through Nature to Christ Dr. Abbott announces that he believes St. John's picture of Jesus Christ to be essentially correct, really truer than that which we gain from the other three Gospels. The anonymous, unknown author has composed a more accurate and sympathetic life of Jesus of Nazareth than those that walked and talked with Him three years in daily communion! He has not reset their narratives in the burnished gold of his marvelous genius, he has written another history, the events as well as the spirit of which differ from those of the preceding biographers. The uncritical, spiritually sensitive Church cordially accepted his production; they could perceive its beauty but not its falsehood, its inner truthfulness but not its outward contradiction of their cherished records. This Church of "thaumaturgic tendencies" cast away its appetite for wonders without struggle, without protest, without hesitation, in obedience to a phantom raised at the bidding of a secret conjuror. And the very individuals who were attracted by the superior power and beauty of this latest Gospel failed to see its variance with the Gospels they had. Total blindness was conjoined with abnormal quickness of vision. The wonders have not yet ceased. The Christ of history, i.e., of the Original Tradition, belongs to "a corner of Syria;" the world-wide Saviour and Enlightener springs forth from the pages of Philo and his undiscoverable disciple. If this be so, not Jesus the Son of Mary, but Philo and the pseudo-John deserve the world's homage, gratitude, and love. But Dr. Abbott cannot content himself with these inconsistencies and incredibilities; he must reduce the theory to an absurdity himself. The Fourth Gospel issues from the Ephesian school, yet it is acceptable to the Gnostics and viewed with suspicion (at first) by the orthodox. It is the Gnostics who manifest this fine spiritual perception; and by these hated and dreaded heretics the Church condescends to be taught, and from their hands it receives "the spiritual Gospel" it had rejected as the gift of Ephesus. The theory outrages history no less than probability. --London Quarterly, Vol. 60

Download or read book Flatland written by Edwin A. Abbott and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2006-07-13 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Upward, yet not Northward.' How would a creature limited to two dimensions be able to grasp the possibility of a third? Edwin A. Abbott's droll and delightful 'romance of many dimensions' explores this conundrum in the experiences of his protagonist, A Square, whose linear world is invaded by an emissary Sphere bringing the gospel of the third dimension on the eve of the new millennium. Part geometry lesson, part social satire, this classic work of science fiction brilliantly succeeds in enlarging all readers' imaginations beyond the limits of our 'respective dimensional prejudices'. In a world where class is determined by how many sides you possess, and women are straight lines, the prospects for enlightenment are boundless, and Abbott's hypotheses about a fourth and higher dimensions seem startlingly relevant today. This new edition of Flatland illuminates the social and intellectual context that produced the work as well as the timeless questions that it raises about the limits of our perception and knowledge.
