Cambridge Free Thoughts and Letters on Bibliolatry: Translated from the German (Classic Reprint)Fb&c Limited, 2017 M01 6 - 190 páginas Excerpt from Cambridge Free Thoughts and Letters on Bibliolatry: Translated From the German The highest privilege, and the chiefest consola tion of man, consists in communion with his Maker. The purest of pleasures in life, is to attend the auld kirk with Father and Mother, in childlike reverence, that knows not doubt. We all of us fain would die in the same faith, wherein our fathers died. But the age of reason succeeds to the age of innocence. What was the strength of the child may be the weakness of the man. That faith which was to be the guardian of our moral nature, may become a blind credulity, destructive of our high birthright - intellectual freedom of thought.
