It was the best of Jesuses, it was the worst of Jesuses,

it was the Jesus of Do Onto Others, it was the Jesus of Martyring Thyself,

it was the Jesus of The Last Will Be First, it was the Jesus Seated At The Right Hand,

it was the Jesus of Turn the Other Cheek, it was the Jesus of I come not to bring Peace but The Sword,

it was the Jesus of Universal Salvation, it was the Jesus of The Apocalyptic End of All Things,

we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way –

in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest evangelicals insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.
