Book excerpt: Excerpt from Science and Christian Tradition: Essays I too have reached the term at which the still, small voice, more audible than any other to the dulled ear of age, makes its demand; and I have found that it is of no sort Of use to try to cook the accounts rendered. Nevertheless, I distinctly de cline to admit some of the items charged; more particularly that of having gone out of my way to attack the Bible; and I as steadfastly deny that hatred of Christianity is a feeling with which I have any acquaintance. There are very few things which I find it permissible to hate; and though, it may be, that some Of the organisations, which arrogate to themselves the Christian name, have richly earned a place in the category of hateful things, that ought to have nothing to do with one's estimation of the religion, which they have perverted and disfigured out of all likeness to the original. The simple fact is that, as I have already more than once hinted, my story is that of the wolf and the lamb over again. I have never gone out of my way to attack the Bible, or anything else: it was the dominant ecclesiasticism of my early days, which, as I believe, without any warrant from the Bible itself, thrust the book in my way.
