Excerpt from Was Christ in Adam?
I know of no authority, ancient or modern, for the doctrine I am about to promulgate. I have heard of something of the kind in Vinet : but I have searched his writings, though not, I confess, all of them, and find adverse, rather than favoring, intimations. It makes one shiver to go on so exposed a road, without any company; but there are certain mitigating circumstances which it is fair to quote.
1. In the first place, this book would not have been so much as thought of, but at the suggestion of the Bible. Philosophy, for the person of Christ, seems vain and impertinent. We cannot employ it even afterward, when our faith has been revealed. We confess nothing of research or venture in this direction.
