Excerpt from The History of the Origins of Christianity, Vol. 4: The Anti-Christ
The last epistles of St. Paul, the Epistle to the Hebrews, the epistles attributed to Peter and James, and the Apocalypse are among the canonical writings the principal documents of this history. The first epistle of Clemens Romanus, Tacitus and Josephus furnish us also with valuable indications. On a large number of points, notably on the death of the Apostles and the relations of John with Asia, our picture will remain in semi-obscurity upon others we shall be able to concentrate real rays of light. The material facts of the Christian origins are almost all Obscure; what is clear is the ardent enthusiasm, the superhuman boldness, the sublime contempt for reality which makes this movement the most powerful effort towards the ideal whose memory has been preserved to us.
