The Cradle of the Christ: A Study in Primitive Christianity (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Cradle of the Christ: A Study in Primitive Christianity

Newman should declare that the critics might have their way with the early records of the religion, which, however curious as literary remains, were not essential to the constitution or the work of the church. Strauss and Renan may speculate and welcome; the mission of the church being to bless mankind, their labors are innocent. A church that does not bless mankind cannot be saved by Auguste Nicolas; a church that does bless mankind cannot be injured by Ernest Renan.
