Synopsis

Exploring how science, religion, and philosophy meet at the idea of God. This book examines how evolution can inform our understanding of the Trinity and the nature of divine life, inviting readers to see unity and duality as living tensions in faith.

This edition argues that religious thought has long sought a unifying principle in a pervading spiritual essence, while also acknowledging separate acts of creation and mediation. It considers how early beliefs about duality and personality in the Godhead can be read alongside modern scientific and philosophical ideas, without denying the central mystery of Christ.

• Maps three divine activities—creative, mediatorial, and universal presence—as themes that echo the Trinity in human understanding.


• Charts the development of religious thought from animist and fetishist roots to more complex, nuanced conceptions of God.


• Discusses the humanity of Christ, presenting a view of Jesus’ growth and development as meaningful to faith.


• Engages with questions about unity, duality, and the limits of human knowledge in theology.

Ideal for readers seeking a thoughtful bridge between science, philosophy, and Christian belief, this edition offers careful reflection rather than easy answers.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Présentation de l'éditeur

First published in 1918, this book constitutes a restatement of the Doctrine of the Holy Trinity from an evolutionary standpoint. Implicit in this aim is the requirement that the truth of a doctrine is not essentially attached to the terminology in which it is expressed, so that the key idea survives as the original terminology becomes archaic. The bulk of the text is devoted to various aspects of the human personality, taking into account modern discoveries but always assuming the prior existence of a spiritual environment in which God is regarded as 'the Ground of Reality'. The final chapter draws together these aspects in a unified analysis of the relationship between humanity and transcendence. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in evolution and the development of theology.
