The Nineteenth Century Spread Of Christianity Was Due Primarily To A New Burst Of Religious Life Emanating From The Christian Impulse. . . . Never In Any Corresponding Length Of Time Had The Christian Impulse Given Rise To So Many New Movements. Never Had It Had Quite So Great An Effect Upon Western European Peoples.

In Contrast, Christianity, While Acknowledging The Presence Of Suffering, Declares That Life Can Be Infinitely Worth Living And Opens The Way To Eternal Life In Fellowship With God Who So Loved The World That He Gave Himself In Christ.

The Primary Source Of The Appeal Of Christianity Was Jesus - His Incarnation, His Life, His Crucifixion, And His Resurrection.

Freedom Was Conditioned By Man's Physical Body, Heredity, And Environment.
