CH 1, ¶9

The Preachers of Christianity were unique not only in the way they conducted their lives, but in the content that they proclaimed. The religion they propagated was, as Paley says, “exclusive” (pg. 50). Christianity denounced and rejected every other form of heathen religion and worship. When all other heathen religion is overthrown, then Christianity has prevailed. In any culture that is foreign to such a religion, the preachers of this Christianity could not hope for calm seas in their voyage to proclaim such a narrow message. (McCauley)
