Examples

“A sentiment this, which is as far from a weak Arminianism as it is opposite to a wicked Antinomianism, and which may strictly be denominated pure Jesuism.”

“The Jesuism which makes Jesus an object of religious faith is pseudo-Christian. That Jesuism which makes Jesus very God, has some claims to be considered religion. But that which makes him, as Dr. Clarke's does, a mere "perfect specimen of a man," is no religion at all; it is mere hero-worship.”

“The religion of the Christians has for good reasons been called, not Jesuism after the name⟳ of Jesus, but Christianity after Christ, the ideal of humanity, which is not an individual being but a superpersonal presence, not a man who lived and died at a certain time, but like⟳ the Platonic ideas, an eternal type⟳, the prototype of the highest ideal of manhood.”
