Excerpt from The Grounds of Theistic and Christian Belief
This volume embraces a discussion of the evidences of both natural and revealed religion. Prominence is given to topics having special interest at present from their connection with modern theories and difficulties. With respect to the first division of the work, the grounds of the belief in God, it hardly need be said that theists are not all agreed as to the method to be pursued, and as to what arguments are of most weight, in the defence of this fundamental truth. I can only say of these introductory chapters, that they are the product of long study and reflection. The argument of design, and the bearing of evolutionary doctrine on its validity, are fully considered. It is made clear, I believe, that no theory of evolution which is not pushed to the extreme of materialism and fatalism - dogmas which lack all scientific warrant - weakens the proof from final causes. In dealing with antitheistic theories, the agnostic philosophy, partly from the show of logic and of system which it presents, partly from the guise of humility which it wears, - not to speak of the countenance given it by some naturalists of note, - seemed to call for particular attention.
