“The historical Jesus, as a civilizing influence, has now been tried for some sixteen centuries. With weird irony, not only has it not in large measure elevated mankind in the West above earlier barbarisms, but it has in fact been used as a cloak for the worst atrocities and inhumanities that history records. It behooves man in the West now to try the concept of the indwelling Christ, the hope of our glory.”

-Alvin Boyd Kuhn (1880-1963)
