Sample text
But I considered silence as my duty, because the authorship was not yet at hand in its totality and thus the understanding could be only a misunderstanding. The content, then, of this little book is: what I in truth am as an author, that I am and was a religious author, that my whole authorship pertains to Christianity, to the issue: becoming a Christian, with direct and indirect polemical aim at that enormous illusion, Christendom, or the illusion that in such a country all are Christians of sorts.
But lest any confusion could occur, lest this satire could be confused with what all too readily wants to pass itself off as satire-the profane revolt of the most deeply sunken profane powers-then I, who have represented this godly satire, then I was the very one who hurled myself against and exposed myself to that mobrevolt's profane satire. 41 In this way I have devoutly striven from the very beginning to be honest. Furthermore, even if the presentations have a sting of truth, the whole thing is nevertheless done as gently as possible inasmuch as it is only a matter of admissions and confessions, admissions and confessions that are left up to each individual to make by oneselfbefore God.
In order to understand this, much fear and trembling, quiet solitude, are required, and for a long time. That I have understood the truth I am presenting-of that I am absolutely convinced. I am just as convinced that my contemporaries, insofar as they do not understand the same thing, will be forced by fair or foul means to understand it when in eternity they have been freed from many of the disturbing worries and hardships from which I have been freed and in eternity they have fl~und the stillness of earnestness, solitude, and time enough to think.
