Excerpt from The General Epistles of St. James and St. Jude All this has to a large extent been made plain-to us by the providence of God in giving to us and pre serving for us in the Church the seven Catholic Epistles. We see St. James and St. Jude'presenting to us that Judaic form of Christianity which was, really the com plement, although when exaggerated it became the opposite, of the teaching of St. Paul. We see St. Peter mediating between the two, and preparing the way for a better comprehension of both. And then St. John lifts us up into a higher and clearer atmosphere, in which the controversy between Jew and Gentile has faded away into the dim distance, and the only opposi tion which remains worthy of a Christian's consideration is that between light and darkness, truth and falsehood.
