Excerpt from Personal Religion
That we are passing through a transition period in Christian thinking is well known to every thoughtful person. Broader ideas of religion are general, spiritual authority in religion is being recognized, new conceptions of the Bible are in vogue, the immanence of God is emphasized, the ethical side of religion is made prominent, religious experience from the standpoint of psychology, is being studied, and the social or Kingdom aspects of Jesus' message and ideal are constantly before us. The presence of such books as Clark's "Theology" and "The Ideal of Jesus" and "Sixty years with the Bible"; Matthew's "The Church and the Changing Order"; Stevens' "The Psychology of the Christian Soul"; Anderson's "The Man of Nazareth"; and numerous other books of similar view point, makes real the situation. Our Colleges and Seminaries are sending out men well versed in philosophy, psychology, science and the results of historical investigation. They are expected to adjust their Gospel Message to the modern view point. Many of them wonder where they are and what they have lost or gained in the transition. The place of "Personal Religion" in this universal social propaganda is not clear to some of them. Their teachers have not failed. It simply takes time to get adjusted.
