Summary
the Apostles were very wise in giving a plastic description of the ressurrection, for otherwise, i.e., if the miracle had been less material, their teachings would not have had, in the eyes of the people, that divine authority, that character so manifestly divine, which Christianity retains even today, as being the only religion capable of maintaining, the people in a condition of sublime enthusiasm, of, softening their savage instincts, and of bringing them nearer the grand and simple nature which God has entrusted, it is said, to that feeble dwarf called "man."
