Judging by the best representation

“As one listens to [Christianity’s opponents], one wonders why, if they really wish to know what religion is, they do not go to its noblest exhibitions.  Would they judge music by jazz when there is Beethoven or architecture by automobile filling stations when there is Chartres?”

Harry Emerson Fosdick, As I See Religion (New York: Harper & Brothers, 1932), 123.
