Excerpt from The Philosophy of Belief: Or Law in Christian Theology

This work is the concluding volume of a series which began with Tie Reign of Law published in 1866, and which was continued in The Unity of Nature published in 1884. Although each of these works may stand independently by itself, they are yet very closely connected. They represent, in the main, one line of thought on the greatest of all subjects, namely, the philosophy of religion in its 6 relations with the philosophy of science. The first of these treatises, The Reign of Law, dealt with the question how far the idea is rational that physical laws are the supreme agencies in Nature, or whether, on the contrary, Mind and Will are seated on that universal throne. The second of the series, The Unity of Nature, starting from a fresh point of view, dealt mainly with the problem how far our human faculties are competent, on this matter, to give us any knowledge whatever, or whether they must leave us in conscious, yet helpless, and hopeless, ignorance on the whole of it, and on all that it involves.
