In the opinion of many of our contemporaries, the time for such studies is past; they can see nothing in them to interest and attract. To take up such studies is, in their eyes, to be behind the times, to parade ideas and a curiosity befitting another age. In reality we might turn the tables on such persons, and tell them that they never got beyond the eighteenth century. What more is needed to demonstrate the importance of religious questions than the history of the years that have come and gone since the Revolution?
