"The Revelation of this book is from the Mighty, the Wise. We have
not created the Heavens and the Earth and all that is between them
otherwise than with a purpose and for a settled term."[113-3]

confining the religious sentiment to "the region of emotion, which is
its proper sphere."

is that he and his contemporaries entertained the conception of the gods
as the authors of order.
