Excerpt from The Age of Faith
This is an age of faith. This book is an effort to state some of the truths which most need emphasis in such an age.
The days of authority are gone. No one any longer believes anything simply because it was formerly believed. "Is it reasonable?" Even revelation is brought to this test. The truth for an age of faith above all other things must be reasonable. Whatever contradicts reason and the moral sense cannot be of God. Whatever harmonizes with reason and the moral sense presumptively is true.
Among the subjects which need emphasis in a time of inquiry, moral earnestness, and eagerness to believe whatever is approved by the intelligence and conscience, I venture to give a prominent place to the following: The Personality of God, The Fatherhood of God, and the fact that all theories about God, man, and the universe should be interpreted in the light of the Fatherhood.
