Excerpt from Reason Revelation: An Essay in Christian Apology For if we look back on the years that are past, we see that men have often thought the Christian Faith to be on its trial, when they, in fact, them selves were being tried by the Faith. It has remained, whether they in their brief life-time kept or lost it, to test their sons, as it had tested them. Celsus would have been unknown to us, but for Origen, and Julian, but for Cyril; in each case it was the Christian who survived. And we may be sure that the same will be the case in the end with the various problems of the present day. Minds may doubt, and hearts may fail, when called to face new modes of thought, or points of view; but the time must come when what is false in all these things will fade, and what is true will no more seem strange; and we shall then see that the fears to which they once gave rise were but phases, that were soon to pass, in the age-long life of the great religion of the Incarnation.
