But your crusader--still more your anti-crusader--never stops, and Mr Arnold was now pledged to this crusade or anti-crusade. In October 1869 he began, still in the _Cornhill_,--completing it by further instalments in the same place later in the year, and publishing it in 1870,--the book called _St Paul and Protestantism_, where he necessarily exchanges the mixed handling of _Culture and Anarchy_ for a dead-set at the religious side of his imaginary citadel of Philistia. The point of at least ostensible connection--of real departure--is taken from the "Hebraism and Hellenism" contrast of the earlier book; and the same contrast is strongly urged throughout, especially in the _coda_, "A Comment on Christmas." But this contrast is gradually shaped into an onslaught on Puritanism, or rather on its dogmatic side, for its appreciation of "conduct" of morality is ever more and more eulogised. As regards the Church of England herself, the attack is oblique; in fact, it is disclaimed, and a sort of a Latitudinarian Union, with the Church for centre, and dogma left out, is advocated. Another of our Arnoldian friends, the "Zeit-Geist," makes his appearance, and it is more than hinted that one of the most important operations of this spirit is the exploding of miracles. The book is perfectly serious--its seriousness, indeed, is quite evidently deliberate and laboured, so that the author does not even fear to appear dull. But it is still admirably written, as well as studiously moderate and reverent; no exception can be taken to it on the score of taste, whatever may be taken on the score of orthodoxy from the one side, where no doubt the author would hasten to plead guilty, or on those of logic, history, and the needs of human nature on the other, where no doubt his "not guilty" would be equally emphatic.
