Gibbon, on the role of a historian: "The theologian may indulge the pleasing task of describing Religion as she descended from Heaven, arrayed in her native purity. A more melancholy duty is imposed on the historian. He must discover the inevitable mixture of error and corruption which she contracted in a long residence upon Earth, among a weak and degenerate race of beings." Gibbon, on writing objectively about the early Christian church: "The miracles of the primitive church, after obtaining the sanction of ages, have been lately attacked in a very free and ingenious inquiry which, though it has met with the most favorable reception from the public, appears to have excited a general scandal among the divines of our own, as well as of the other protestant churches of Europe. Our different sentiments on this subject will be much less influenced by any particular arguments than by our habits of study and reflection, and above all, by the degree of evidence which we have accustomed ourselves to require for the proof of a miraculous event. The duty of a historian does not call upon him to interpose his private judgment in this nice and important controversy, but he ought not to dissemble the difficulty of adopting such a theory as may reconcile the interest of religion with that of reason, of making a proper application of that theory, and of defining, with precision, the limits of that happy period, exempt from error and from deceit, to which we might be disposed to extend the gift of supernatural powers."
