First: Has theology given any help, or has it any help to give, to the social consciousness? - the question of the first division of the book. Second: Has the social consciousness made any contribution, or has it any contribution to make, to theol ogy? - the question of the se...

Excerpt from Education and National Character The Religious Education Association was born out of a profound conviction, on the part of many, of the national need of a deeper and steadily deepening moral and religious life, if the nation was to be either great or permanent. Lowell's words, spoken at the 250th Anniversary of Harvard University, might have been taken as the Association's motto: "The measure of a nation's true success is the amo...

Excerpt from The Ethics of Jesus: Being the William Belden Noble Lectures for 1909While I have tried to keep constantly in mind the ethical aspect of the teaching, as the one prob lem of this book, it Should not be forgotten that Jesus' teaching is so completely permeated with the religious spirit, that it is impossible wholly to ignore the religious and still do justice to the ethical teaching. Jesus has no dual standpoint, corresponding to a...

Excerpt from Religion as Life If one is to do justice to the breadth of human nature, he may not forget that there are always two questions to be asked concerning any of the phenomena of the world and of life: How did it come to be?

About the Publis...

Excerpt from The Seeming Unreality of the Spiritual Life: The Nathaniel William Taylor Lectures for 1907, Given Before the Divinity School of Yale University This book aims to face, as straightforwardly as may be, the problem implied in its title. It seeks to speak directly, as frankly and simply as possible, and yet with some adequacy, to the fundamental religious need of men, - to the need of all who cherish ideals of any kind. The book has...

Excerpt from Fundamental QuestionsIts chapters take up in order the perennial problem for all ideal views, -the question of suffering and sin, the difficulties for any religious view which gather around prayer, - the central relation of revelation and response between God and men, the question of how we may best think of Christ, - the central fact of the Christian reli gion, and then, in the light of these conclusions, four large problems for ...

Excerpt from How to Make a Rational Fight for Character In trying to point the way to a rational fight for character I wish to connect all I have to say from the very first with Paul's statement of the outcome of his experience: "O wretched man that I am! I who shall deliver me out of the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord." (Romans vii. 24, 25.) For I am not willing that any man should think, even for a moment, tha...

Excerpt from Rational Living: Some Practical Inferences From Modern Psychology Unity demands action and is best expressed in action, and that we are, thus, everywhere shut out from resting in abstractions and must find reality only in the concrete. Manifestly these contentions are all closely interwoven, and they may even be regarded as all summed up in the last - as asserting the inter-relatedness of all. About the Publisher Forgotten Book...

The let ters were originally written for T be Pilgrim Teoc/zor, to help Sunday school teachers to see for them selves, and to put to their pupils as cle...
