Document Summary
88: the soul now stands against the church. Wants students to accept that religion is not a static force. Show your church members what god is not what god was to some other man. Argues true religious sentiment cannot be taught, but must be self-discerned, an inspiration, found in intuition. When it is simple taught via history it becomes a doctrine of christian history, not the doctrine of the soul. We fail to recognize we can enter into the divine, god comes into the self. Preaching is supposed to be expression of moral sentiment through self experience, yet the preacher. The preacher may know many facts and accounts, and yet has no truths. We see nature as separate from us, but we aren"t. a retuning to our own roots (the self), and also a. Emerson on the redeeming truth despite the two failures: the soul is the place to seek redemption.
