Excerpt from Modern Thought and the Crisis in Belief
Nobody knows so well as I the inadequacy of my equipment for this difficult task; and few can have had better reason to know how its prosecution calls down anathemas alike from defenders of the faith once delivered to the saints - for whom religion has achieved finality and from rationalists who, in their horror of the sympathetic fallacy, cherish the notion that technical research can accomplish a per fect work. These I cannot hope to conciliate, much less to convince. Time, that tries all, must be their teacher. But for such as believe that the estab lishment of Christian truth, rather than its apolo getic defence or contemptuous dismissal, is an important part of the second Reformation imposed upon us by the contemporary course of science and scholarship, I trust I have touched some things worth further reflexion.

Excerpt from Modern Thought and the Crisis in Belief
Having regard to the peculiar conditions at the State Universities, where students of all denominations stand on an equal footing, and where, therefore, no theological faculties can be erected, the Right Reverend Samuel Smith Harris, Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Michigan, in 1885, executed a Deed of Trust with certain influential laymen of his diocese. This was one of the first steps in what is known as the Guild Movement, now widespread and still growing. The Guilds are representative of the various denominations, and, as a rule, maintain their own halls, with libraries, reading rooms, gymnasia, etc., as headquarters for their students, and as centres of religious activity supplementary to their local churches. Lectureships often form a part of their plan.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book tackles the challenges facing faith in the present day. Born out of the author's Baldwin Lectures, it explores the different ways our understanding of religion has changed over the course of history. Specifically, the author looks at the tension between the traditional, intellectual beliefs and the more contemporary, psychological beliefs about religion. The author argues that religion must be the product of thought and experience, and that humans have an inherent need for religion, but that every generation must come to terms with it in its own way.
