Excerpt from Religious Life and Thought
The following observations on Religious Life and Thought, although appearing in the popular form of Sermons, and printed as they were delivered from week to week to my own Congregation, and having the slightness of structure that such communications require, are not hasty expressions of opinion. They are portions of a deliberately formed body of opinion. The conceptions of religion to be found in them have been elaborated at leisure. The statement of these conceptions is often made with little enough leisure; but I wish it to be distinctly understood that the Sermons do not set forth tentative essays at the solution of a great problem. I would rather that they were looked upon as sundry efforts to familiarize the public mind with results at which I have myself arrived after many years of special study. Not that I suppose for a moment that I have seen wholly round the subject treated of. I know it too well to entertain any such notion. I can honestly make use of words of Kant, applied by him to another subject of inquiry : "Alle Aufgaben auflosen, and alle Fragen beantworten zu wollen, wurde eine unverschamte Grosssprecherei, und ein so ausschweifender Eigendunkel sein, dass man dadurch sich so fort um alles zutrauen bringen musste."
