Excerpt from The Problem of Christianity, Vol. 1: Lectures Delivered at the Lowell Institute in Boston, and at Manchester College, Oxford
This present book is the result of studies whose first outcome appeared, in 1908, in my "Philosophy of Loyalty." Since then, two volumes of my collected philosophical essays have dealt, in part, with the same problems as those which "The Philosophy of Loyalty" discussed. Of these two latter volumes, one is entitled "William James and other Essays on the Philosophy of Life"; and contains, amongst other theses, the assertion that the "spirit of loyalty" is able to supply us not only with a "philosophy of life," but with a religion which is "free from superstition" and which is in harmony with a genuinely rational view of the world. In 1912 were published, by the Scribners in New York, the "Bross Lectures," which I had delivered, in the autumn of 1911, at Lake Forest University, Illinois, on "The Sources of Religious Insight."

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the essence of Christianity by analyzing the concept of loyalty within the context of religious experience and community. The author challenges traditional interpretations of Christianity, suggesting that the true heart of the faith lies not in the personality of its founder, but in the transformative power of the early Christian Church and its devoted commitment to shared spiritual unity. The book delves into the nature of community, the burden of individual guilt, and the concept of atonement as a means of redemption for the otherwise lost individual. The author argues that loyalty, a deeply personal and socially transformative force, serves as the driving force behind true Christian life, and that through a profound understanding of loyalty, Christianity offers a compelling and enduring vision for the salvation of mankind.
