Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from On the State of Man Subsequent to the Promulgation of Christianity, Vol. 2
And cruel ceremonies and diversions which others frequented, they became the objects of suspicion and hatred. Gradually the mild and patient disciple of Jesus was changed, by cruelty and injustice, into the undaunted but fierce confessor of tenets which he knew hazarded his life; and ere a man arose capable of appreciating Christianity as a system, its professors had been well nigh tortured out of the character which seems to have recommended them chie?y to his notice.
