TL;DRAbstract

“One of the universal sentiments which Christianity has deeply imbedded in the human heart is that of the natural equality of men. ….. It has produced the spectacle, which I believe to be peculiar to Christian times, of one class uplifting another, the happy toiling for the miserable, the free vindicating the rights of the oppressed. With all the noble examples of disinterested friendship and patriotism, which ancient history affords, I can remember no approach to that wholesale compassion, that general action of one order of society on another, that system of benevotent agitation in behalf of powerless and forgotten suffering, which characterises the history of modern times.”Rationale of Religious Inquiry.
