Excerpt from The Moral and Religious Challenge of Our Times: The Guiding Principle in Human Development, Reverence for PersonalityAs its double title indicates, this book seeks to enable the thoughtful reader to orient himself morally and religiously, with reference to all the main features of the modern world, and to give him, at the same time, a guiding clue in that orien tation. The aim involves a wide survey, but the changes of our time have been so large and so significant, that it seems particularly worth while to attempt their comprehensive review. In our thinking, in our living, and in our working - in all alike - we need not only intelligent acquaint ance with the world conditions in the midst of which we are, but thoughtful understanding of them. And this holds for the nation as well as for the individual. Our problems are not those of any other time. We need to know just what they are, what peculiar difficulties are involved, and what special helps are available.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
