It is from Ritschl, and more particularly from Kaftan, that the phrases have been mainly taken which served as introduction to this paragraph. For the work of God through Christ, in the salvation of men from the guilt and power of sin, various terms have been used. Different aspects of the work have been described by different names.
Ivan soon came near a large tree and saw a big nest in the branches. Four small birds were in the nest; they were quite alone, and neither father nor mother was there to protect them from the cold and wet. The good Ivan pitied them, climbed the tree and covered the little ones with his "kaftan," a long-skirted coat which the Russian peasants and merchants usually wear.
At the door of the double cabin sits a man of fifty, smoking a Turkish chibouque. His features are Oriental, with more of the Turkish than the Greek type; his dress, with the striped kaftan and red fez, is like that of a Servian or Greek.
In proposing it he thought within himself: "I will bet that this time he will not dare accept; then I will teach him a lesson." But the fellow quickly put on the new kaftan, tightened it with the belt, shook his curly head and answered: "Have my thanks, uncle, for thy gift. How could I dare not take it? Why, one must obey his host's bidding."

It reached Semyon's hut, and he ran out and reported in soldierly fashion.
When she had done singing Israel looked at the Mahdi and then at her, and smiled, as if he and she and the song were one to him. But indeed Naomi had hardly finished when the wail came again, now nearer than before, and louder. Israel heard it. "Hark! They are coming. Keep close," he muttered. He fumbled and tugged with one hand at the breast of his kaftan.
Said Professor Kaftan, in an address to a Ministers' Conference: "The word conversion is the appropriate term for expressing the way in which a man becomes a Christian and a believer. Most Christians can tell you something about how it happened that they sought a new aim and chose another path in life.
Take any of the dogmatic systems that have resulted from the latest Protestant dissolvent analysis that of Kaftan, the follower of Ritschl, for example and note the extent to which eschatology is reduced.
Beside him hung the portrait of another great-grandfather, Prince Nikolai Sergeyevitch Volkonsky, my grandmother's father, with thick, black eyebrows, a gray wig, and a red kaftan. This Volkonsky built all the buildings of Yasnaya Polyana. He was a model squire, intelligent and proud, and enjoyed the great respect of all the neighborhood.
