Excerpt from Faith and Modern Thought
The occasion of this little volume may be found in the spirit of modern discussion.
The title - Faith and Modern Thought - was chosen by the writer long before he knew that a similar subject - Christianity and Modern Thought - had been proposed for a course of lectures in Boston, during the winter of 1875-6.
The material is composed, in part, of essays prepared for special occasions, and subsequently published in Quarterly Reviews.
If, in defence of certain positions, plain words have been employed, they are in reply to plain words employed in attack.
If it be questioned whether the spirit of the book is in too close sympathy with the spirit of the time, the author has no reply to make; if it be asserted, he has no apology to offer.
Earnest inquiry everywhere prevails. Old theories are scrutinized; new theories are criticised.
