Ancient Religion And Modern Thought Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Ancient Religion and Modern Thought Thought: a vague term, indeed, although, I suppose, we all know well enough what is meant by it. An essentially negative movement it is - its ultimate message to mankind the philosophy of Schopenhauer and his school: and to an examination of that philo sophy my First Chapter is devoted. But the view of life put before us by the Pessimists is, after all, to a large extent true, nor is it easy to see what answer can be given to their argument save that supplied by religious faith. Is religious faith, then, any longer possible? Or has Modern Thought been so fatal to it as is commonly asserted?

Excerpt from Ancient Religion and Modern Thought The subject of this book is, I think, sufficiently indicated by its title. But it may be well that I should here briefly set down the main outline of my argument, since, for a reason which I shall presently give, I have preferred not to present it in the form of a systematic treatise. First, then, I ask my readers to look in the face the issue of that great intellectual movement in the European world which is usually termed Modern Thought: a vague term, indeed, although, I suppose, we all know well enough what is meant by it. An essentially negative movement it is - its ultimate message to mankind the philosophy of Schopenhauer and his school: and to an examination of that philosophy my First Chapter is devoted.

Excerpt from Modern Thought and Traditional Faith There has never been a time in the history of scholar ship when Truth for Truth's sake was so earnestly pursued as now.

Excerpt from The Ancient Faith in Modern Light The following Essays, by members of a society of ministers accustomed to meet for free and brotherly conference, are intended to reassert, from a modern point of view, great fundamental verities of the Christian Faith, and to indicate some of their varied applications. To distinguish between the permanent and the transient in Religion is one of the gravest and hardest tasks of the theologian. In every age there is a "removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that have been made, that those things which are not shaken may remain." Too often, indeed, in the eager desire for progress, the distinction is missed; and in the criticism of human theories and systems the Divine thought that underlies them is left out of sight. To avoid this error has been the great aim of the Essayists, whose long experience as Christian teachers, with much close observation of the thoughts and tendencies of the time, has led them to cling with ever-increasing confidence to the truths which are unchanging and essential.

Excerpt from Foundations: A Statement of Christian Belief in Terms of Modern Thought The modern world is asking questions. Christianity and its traditional theology have come down to us from an age very different from our own, an age when the sun and the stars moved round the earth, when the meaning of natural law and evolution was only dimly apprehended, when the psychology of religion, the historical method and the critical study of ancient documents were yet unborn. These things touch the foundations of the old beliefs, and it is about the foundations that the world is asking.

Excerpt from The New York Review, Vol. 1: A Journal of the Ancient Faith and Modern Thought; June-July, 1905 The Christian Church, said Cardinal Newman in one of his latest essays, began as religion; then it came upon the intellectual classes and developed a theology; then it organized its external relations and government and became a polity. And the Cardinal himself has left a memory great in each Of these three departments Of Christian and Catholic activity. His Spiritual in uence has been great. His work for the intellectual side Of the Christian Faith has been Of 'the highest order. And though he Was not an ecclesiastical statesman, his analysis of the functions of the Church as a polity has been equally valuable.
