Rev.
William
M.
Thompson:
“Jerusalem,
as
I
see
it
this
morning,
is
all
I
could
desire,
and,
if
a
nearer
acquaintance
is
going
to
disappoint
and
disgust,
let
me
not
enter,
but
depart
from
this
‘Mount
of
Ascension’
carrying
away
the
picture
already
imprinted
on
my
heart.”
[Viewing
from
a
distance
but
not
close
up]
William
Mason
Turner:
“On
account
of
this
ubiquity
of
holy
objects
and
curiosi-es,
the
whole
church
and
its
wonders
necessarily
appear
as
a
sham,
and
the
high
religious
aw
with
which
we
should
view
these
wonders,
subsides
into
a
stoical,
indifferent
credulity,
which
plainly
express
our
opinion
of
everything
shown
us,
as
humbug.”
How
do
these
viewpoints
complicate
the
no-on
of
authen-city?
