Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book thoroughly explores the concept of faith and belief systems and how they relate to reason in 19th century American society. The text begins by highlighting the importance of living a virtuous life over having perfect beliefs and then goes on to analyze the dominant creeds of the time period. The author presents a thought-provoking contrast between the impulsive responses and fluctuating emotions of ordinary, 'piecemeal' living and the solid character, deliberateness, and consistencies of those the author considers to be paragons of morality. The author concludes by asserting the need for a new creed based on evolution and progress, and highlights the importance of institutions which promote human flourishing and social welfare. Through meticulous analysis, this book offers a new way of understanding the relationship between faith and reason, inviting readers to consider the practical value of belief in God and offering fresh insight into the tenets of Christianity.
