The Lady Ecclesia: An Autobiography (Classic Reprint)

Overview

Excerpt from The Lady Ecclesia: An Autobiography

In this narrative, though I have compressed nations into milcs and centuries into weeks, I have seldom departed from the stream of history, nowhere, 1 hope, from the stream of experience. I do not think the beauty of an allegory is its puzzle, but its obviousness. As a key therefore to these pages, let me state that most of the characters are representative, even when suggested by individual names. Ecclesia - the New Testament word for the Church - represents that inner life of Christianity itself which was originally the flower of Judaism. Hellenicus represents that phase of the Greek mind which came into brief contact with the flower of Judaism.
