In the early centuries the attitude of learned people towards Christianity was by no means the same as that of modern people. Today one risks being accused of repudiating the true words of the Bible, of being an agnostic and unfit to call himself a Christian by people with orthodox viewpoints. These people should recognize that to interpret the Bible in ways that differ from their own is not the equivalent of doubting its truth.

An ein Wort des Kirchenvaters Augustinus will ich mich anlehnen. Das Wort heißt: Dasjenige, was man heute christliche Religion nennt, ist uralt.
