Sample Sentences

As has been shown, it is historically true that a vulgar opinion to the effect that Christ was separately mactated in the sacrifices of masses prevailed at the time of the Reformation, which opinion being perfectly analogous to that which the Apostle combats, nothing could be more appropriate than to quote his teaching in condemnation of it. [1860, The Rev. William Henderson et al., Theological Defence for the Right Rev. Alexander Penrose Forbes, D.C.L., Bishop of Brechin, page 74:]

[2004, David Bentley Hart, The Beauty of the Infinite: The Aesthetics of Christian Truth, Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing, →ISBN, page 346:]
