Is " as over" the misspelling of "as ever"?
(1)Is " as over" the misspelling of "as ever"?
(2) Failed to understand "None should be more zealous in them than we" and those in red below. Would you like to rewrite them in more words with more details with the same meaning?
Context:
We must not, then, as Christians, assume an attitude of antagonism toward the truths of reason, or the truths of philosophy, or the truths of science, or the truths of history, or the truths of criticism. As children of the light, we must be careful to keep ourselves open to every ray of light. Let us, then, cultivate an attitude of courage as over against the investigations of the day. None should be more zealous in them than we. None should be more quick to discern truth in every field, more hospitable to receive it, more loyal to follow it, whithersoever it leads.'

I don't understand what "as over" means, but "as ever" doesn't make it much better. No one should be more zealous about current research and exploration of the sciences than we Christians. I can't say this is the best writing I have ever read.

- To say you should be "courageous" in the face of modern scientific research suggests it is something to be feared, but faced, but the next sentence says you should embrace it.
- However, I like the overall sentiment that there should be no conflict between science and religion.
