Excerpt from Notes on Evolution and Christianity
The object of the following simple Notes is to turn a small - but, it is hoped, not inopportune - stream of facts and criticism on to an important question: Is there in the teaching of Christ an originality so wonderful, as to be accounted for only by the assumption of a special Divine Revelation? The facts alluded to, whether historical or scientific, are recorded, for the most part, in writings too elaborate or too learned for the busy majority. Yet the consciousness that new knowledge is threatening with dissolution old views of religion and ethics is wide and deep; and not less so is the desire to get at the gist of the controversy, and to learn what - concerning this question above all others - the new knowledge really has to teach.
These Notes then are an attempt to meet that desire, and to point out the bearing of Evolution upon Religion, and especially upon Christianity. It is well to know in what direction we arc moving.

It traces the evolution of Hebrew ethics, from the Ten Commandments to the refined morality of the prophets. The author argues that ethical teachings are not divinely inspired but rather the result of social and intellectual development. The book places religious teachings in their historical and cultural contexts, examining the influence of ancient Egyptian and Persian ideas on the development of Hebrew morality. It concludes that religious teachings can be interpreted rationally, and that their insights are significant for understanding the evolution of human moral thought.
