Excerpt from The Lord of Life and Death N OW just because this miracle is so tremendous, it is the miracle that has been exposed to the most searching and rigorous and mordant criticism. Every objection, reasonable or unreasonable, that ingenu ity could devise has been urged against it. And the reason for that is quite plain - the consequences of the truth of this story are so great.

But still this miracle does exercise a mighty influence upon the hearts and intellects of men.
