Life In The Making: An Approach To Religion Through The Method Of Modern Pragmatism is a book written by Loren B. Macdonald. It explores the concept of religion through the lens of modern pragmatism, a philosophical approach that emphasizes practicality and usefulness in knowledge and beliefs. The book delves into the ways in which religion can be understood in a pragmatic sense, as a means of navigating the complexities of life and finding meaning and purpose in the world. It also examines the role of religion in shaping personal identity, morality, and social relationships. Through a combination of theoretical analysis and practical examples, the book offers a fresh perspective on religion that is both intellectually rigorous and relevant to contemporary life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

That religion bears some message of supreme value to human life is an assumption, more or less explicit, in all the great historic faiths. It has been taken for granted that, in some way or other, mans life on earth is safer, worthier, happier with religion than without it. All the more unfortunate it seems, therefore, that this desirable treasure should have been offered to man at the price of an intellectual sacrifice which he is sometimes not willing to make. Must the only entrance to a temple so beautiful and inspiring always be that of some difficult creed or doctrine? Shall man forever be expected to perform some strenuous, and to many, impossible, mental feats in the form of belief and assent before he can enter in and enjoy its harmonies.? He is not called upon to yield that intellectual tribute at the shrine of other great emotional or spiritual interests. Art and music, for instance, do not demand any humiliation on the part of reason and intelligence before they come with their blessed ministry to human needs. Why should not the religious interest, supposed to be of far more significance to life than these, offer its ministry on terms equally acceptable? To all who are concerned in the answer to these questions the message of this book is earnestly and respectfully addressed.
