Gordon Clark: Napoleon (The Southern Presbyterian Journal)

1957. Napoleon. The Southern Presbyterian Journal, XVI.

Napoleon

I have just been reading about Napoleon. This is not the man who was born in Corsica, invaded Russia, and spent his remaining days in St. Helena. This Napoleon lived in France, it is true, and had a large following; but he never saw Russia or St. Helena. This is a different Napoleon. 

I have just been reading about Jesus as pictured by the Modernists. This Jesus was not born of a Virgin; he did not satisfy the justice of his father by his death; and he did not rise from the tomb. He did, of course, live in Palestine and gained quite a few disciples. This is a different Jesus; and, I must say, he does not seem very important to me.

- G.H.C.
