Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reason or Revelation, or the Religion, Philosophy, and Civilisation of the Ancient Heathen, Contrasted With Christianity and Its Legitimate Consequences Christianity, as the only system that is competent to elevate the world, and which embodies in it all the elements of true religion, true morals, true philosophy, and true civilisation. And by advocating Christianity, it is no: to sermonise, but to take up the system in its principles and opera tions, and compare and contrast it with all other systems. There is a prevailing misconception of it - a one-sided view of its principles and ten dencies, which amounts to an error - by which it is not extended to its per fect work but circumscribed and contracted in its design and powers. It is not sufficiently viewed as a complete, divinely given system, for the restoration and government of the world. It is looked at too Often solely as teaching the fact of a better world, and how we may attain it - and that is a great and most important part - but it is not confined to that, for it does not only simply inculcate our devotional Obligations, but it embraces every thing that relates to our temporal state and social improve ment. It contains the true principles Of political economy, and of all legislative science and gives the grand directions for the amelioration of the physical world, and the education, refinement, and happiness of man. It is the moral lever for upheaving the earth, and all that it inhabit, from every existing false and ruinous position. As the curse was universal on nature, - brute, and man, Christianity is universal, as the universal antidote.
