Sinopsis
Excerpt from Authority: The Function of Authority in Life and Its Relation to Legalism in Ethics and Religion
The discussion, moreover, has special refer ence to the present trend of theological opinion. Quotations are numerous, though they are used as illustrations rather than as authority. Still, the weight of expert opinion, of course, may be used as corroborative evidence in argument. If this essay does not convince, it may at least clarify some notions regarding the subject; or, better still, it may occasion abler scholars to give it deserved attention. For one thing is certain: Authority must become the most vital question for an age which - rightly or wrongly - tends to challenge its established forms.

Excerpt from Authority: The Function of Authority in Life and Its Relation to Legalism in Ethics and Religion
In the following pages is presented a general survey of the subject of authority. The author has gone afield to bring out authority's function in life with special reference to legalism in ethics and religion. Law brooks no interference. Though God's law needs no vindication by the evidence of impending penalties and rewards, its vindication is written upon the heart of man with unmistakable anticipations. Human law and prevailing custom require conformity by force. This outward conformity, however, pre-supposes at least the capacity, and the law aims at a willingness of the individual to follow its prescribed course or rule. This is done on authority, in faith. We believe in the thing prescribed, recommended, enjoined. The community as a whole endorses the regulations in force over its individuals or members. It is not a matter which is reasoned out, or rationally justified. It is done for us, we accept its right, recognize its authority, we believe, we exercise faith.
