Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Texts and Margins of the Revised New Testament: Affecting Theological Doctrine, Briefly Reviewed
But, while this is true, the better knowledge which has been given to our day renders it impossible to assent to the ancient belief in an all but omnipotent devil. This is surely one of the great points on which men are called upon to admit into their minds the clearer light which, by providential guiding, modern Science has given to the world. This should teach us that what we are accustomed to call the Evils of life and nature, mysterious and sorrowful as they often are, must, in the last resort, be ascribed to the Supreme Will itself, and are not to be attributed to the activity of a malignant Satan, the eternal enemy alike of God and man.
