"A system of doctrine has risen up during the last three centuries, in which faith or spiritual-mindedness is contemplated and rested on as the end of religion, instead of Christ ... stress is laid on the believing rather than on the object of belief, on the comfort and persuasiveness of the doctrine than on the doctrine iteself. And in this way religion is made to consist of contemplating ourselves, instead of Christ ... not in His divinity and atonement, but in our conversion and faith in Him."


~John Henry Newman
