Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Grounds of Christian Belief Exponents of the Christian Religion are given at the present time a unique opportunity of setting forth its truth. The deeper Thought of the times is indeed for those who will let it carry them along with it to its inevitable goal, but "our schoolmaster to bring us to Christ." The Christian Creed is not a final conclusion of speculation: it has its own independent proof, its definite historical basis, and its constant verification in experience. But though it exists, and demonstrates itself, in its own right, its claim is one that Reason perpetually justifies, that profound Thought leads up to and vindicates both for mind and heart. I have endeavoured to make clear both these elements in the Christian Faith - its grounds in history and in experience, the way in which all deeper Thought either prepares the way for its presentation or brings out its deep implications in Reason. The Christian Faith, when rightly estimated in its truth and moral demand, commends itself alike to mind and conscience. Especially with regard to the Work and Person of Christ, the intellectual estimate, the element of doctrine, is to the absolute moral value or unconditional imperative thereof but the other side of the shield. There has been recently a considerable revival of aggressive Materialism. The Rationalist Press Association has found funds and increased its output, and, though Materialism is certainly a "back-number" in the domain of Thought, its recent popular presentations may gain for it, among those whose critical faculty is only slightly developed, a measure of acceptance not warranted by its merits. A critical examination of the basis and claims of this survival of an outworn type of theory - the weak and beggarly elements of nineteenth-century Rationalism struggling for life in a new age - will, it is hoped, help many who desire to see things as they, really are, and to approve the things that are true and are "more excellent."
