Philosophy and Christianity
Luke 1:78
Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high has visited us,


Philosophy, in the night of Paganism, was like the fire-fly of the tropics making itself visible, but not irradiating the darkness. But Christianity, revealing the Sun of Righteousness, sheds more than the full sunlight of those tropics on all that we need to see, whether for time or eternity.

(Coleridge.)
