Excerpt from Christ

But the misfortune is that all these pic tures have been superimposed upon the same canvas. The result is that the doc trinal conception of Christ as it stands today in human thought is hopelessly blurred and indistinct. Underlying it all there is the real personality, but it well nigh passes recognition. Viewed from one standpoint, it shows a poor Pilgrim, weary, dust-covered, ready to faint, knocking at a closed and inhospitable door. In an other light one sees a wan, pallid, bloodless figure, hanging on a Cross. In another, a stern Justice upon a judgment seat, sur rounded by all the circumstance of a great Assize. In another one discovers a gracious Shepherd, like Apollo with his lute, leading and guiding a flock. In yet another, a divine Majesty, sitting at the right hand of a great king. Which of these is the real Christ?
