Excerpt from The Letter and the Spirit: Eight Lectures Delivered Before the University of Oxford in the Year 1888 on the Foundation of the Late Rev.

This will lead us on to the further question of their adoption into the theological vocabulary of early Chris tian writers, and so to that later and popular use by which they have come to mean the outward and the inward, the form and the substance, the transitory and the permanent, the accidental and the essential, in religion; and then to endeavour to discriminate these two elements in religious thought and life. Before entering on this wider field, it will be necessary to discuss with some fulness the use of the words in St. Paul's writings.
