Contemporaneity (n.) was dreadful for those who walked with Christ: this man among the others was God — and eighteen hundred years of result only help the shabby deceit by which we fool ourselves.
Contemporaneity (n.) is often wished for with great men; rarer and worth more is being contemporary with oneself, since most people live a hundred thousand miles ahead of themselves.

Contemporaneity (n.) lies in the autopsy of faith — the believer's 'seeing for himself' — in which every non-contemporary is again contemporary.
Contemporaneity (n.) with the god is so little an advantage that the disciple, understanding himself, must wish it to cease — lest he run out to look with physical eyes.
