Présentation de l'éditeur

Christianity is nothing but a set of statements about supernatural history which no one now can honestly believe. When I deny this, they ask me what Christianity is ;and, if I try to tell them, they reply That is not Christianity at all but certain beliefs which were held by men before Christ was born and may be held by them after his name has been forgotten. But, all the while, I am convinced that there is a body of belief, not concerned with supernatural history, which is Christian ;that it began with the teaching of Christ, as Platonism began with the teaching of Plato, that it has been enlarged and enriched with the experience of nineteen centuries and yet has remained itself. I am not anxious to prove the originality of Christ in detail. It may be that he said no single thing which had not been said before him. T he originality of a great teacher consists, not in particular sayings or doings, but(in his power of giving life to an idea) so that it continues to live in other mens minds and is enriched with other mens thought. The greatest ideas are not those which remain peculiar to their authors.
