Through Nature to God - Tapa blanda

“The grand arguments for the great philosopher’s own religious faith.” -Springfield Republican

“Mr. Fiske’s incomparable clearness of thought and literary technique are here applied with illuminating effect to the most stupendous subjects connected with human existence.” -The Index, Cleveland

“This is a thoughtful little book, dealing briefly but, by no means, superficially with the greatest of all subjects.” -The Saturday Review of Politics, Literature, Science and Art

“A book that will both stimulate the sluggish mind and confirm the feeble of heart.” -The Academy

“Well worth reading.” -The Church Gazette

“There are several passages in the book which remind us that Mr. Fiske is not a thorough-going evolutionist, but is a follower of Spencer, who holds that Evolution and Devolution ceaselessly alternate under the influence of an immutable law that knows no growth, no cause, no reason; so that not evolution, but immutability, according to his account of the matter, is the general characteristic of the universe.” -The Nation

“This book discusses, in Mr. Fiske’s large and luminous way, the mystery of evil, the cosmic roots of love and self-sacrifice, and the everlasting reality of religion. It falls in the same group with his ‘Idea of God’ and ‘Destiny of Man,’ which have been an inspiration and a source of strength and light to a multitude of readers.” -The Churchman

“Furnishes a very full account of the religious aspects of the doctrine of evolution....Agnostics and philosophers of the sterner type said that Dr. Fiske had gone outside of his province as a philosopher, and some accused him of appealing to the amiable prejudices of the religious world to win favor for his scientific creed. But unlearned people have received these interpretations with unaffected gladness. They have an instinctive conviction that the prophet plays a more important part in religion than the philosopher; and that, when the philosopher enters the church, he must prophesy.” -The Unitarian Register
