Synopsis

Delve into a thoughtful bridge between faith and reason with this set of eight lectures given at Oxford in 1884. The work examines how religious belief and scientific understanding can grow together, tracing moral progress from the Old Testament through the New Testament and exploring how revelation shapes our sense of universal ethics.


Through careful analysis, the lectures discuss the changing sense of holiness, justice, and mercy across biblical generations, and consider how spiritual knowledge informs moral life. The author argues that the best moral teaching emerges from a dynamic dialogue between conscience, revelation, and human reason, rather than from any single philosophical system.



  • See how biblical morality evolves from ancient to more refined forms of justice and mercy

  • Understand the role of revelation in shaping enduring moral principles

  • Explore the relationship between religion, science, and spiritual knowledge

  • Grasp why the New Testament is seen as a pivotal development in moral thinking


Ideal for readers of theology, history of religion, and the philosophy of science seeking a nuanced, era‑spanning discussion.

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.
