British Foreign Evangelical Review PDF Download

Excerpt from The British and Foreign Evangelical Review, 1869, Vol. 18 The fundamental Object of the Gnostic speculations was doubtless to solve the two grand problems of all religious philosophy, viz., How to account for the existence of evil and, How to reconcile the finite with the infinite. But these ancient theorists were not more success ful in grappling with such questions than have been their successors in modern times.
