LOST 6/21/90 WITNESS TO THE TRUTH Christ and His Interpreters By EDITH HAMILTON "It is only in religion that the meaning of life can be found. There is nothing of which I am more convinced than that religion is the most individual matter there is and that everyone has got to approach it in his own way" writes Edith Hamilton. In this book a gifted writer offers her own approach in the hope that her way will have meaning for others for whom the figure of Christ has been obscured by ceremonies, rit- uals, creeds, and dogmas. To rediscover Christas he is given in the Gospels is, for her, the overwhelming need. She believes we must brush aside the statements and explanations which have, through the ages, hidden Christ more and more, and try to see hin for our- selves. We must strive to understand why he remains an unequalled force and inspiration, although much that he taught was, and still is, antagonistic to everyone. What was his "truth" that the world can never forget him? In chapters on the Gospels, on St. Paul and on Faith and the Church, Miss Hamilton seeks the answer to this question. She includes a chapter on Socrates, because, as she writes: "In the many years I have read the Gospels and Plato it has been borne in upon me that Socrates by temperament and in his basic point of view was closer to Christ than any one else. I believe he is a help to understand- ing Christ, a stepping-stone to an apprehen- sion of that greatest of all figures." Witness to the Truth is Miss Hamilton's sixth and most important book. In all humil- ity she has addressed her rare talents to the subject of Christ and a personal religion. She has written very simply on a great and pro- found theme näyttää 2/2 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
