Excerpt from The Problem of Consolation
This book has grown out of a pastor's effort to be the bearer of consolation to thinking people in times of distress. To the sufferer it may be a problem of pain, but to the pastor whose aim is to lift him out of suffering it becomes a problem of consolation. There exists so much confusion as to the interpretation of God's relation to life's problems that the principles of God's moral gov ernment are often misunderstood or overlooked. Words change their meaning, new facts modify or change the philosophy that molds sentences. Old interpretations that satisfied minds whose thinking was harmonized with former facts by an old philosophy do so no more. Compared with the time when the Scriptures were written, we have a new world and new facts, and with these a new philosophy that demands a new inter pretation of our experiences to harmonize Light, Life, and Truth. As Paul, in his Epistle to the Romans, expressed the gospel in Roman terms and Roman modes of thought, so it becomes our duty to do the same for our modern world. In this humble effort I desire to express my indebt edness to Bergson and Eucken for the principles that I have endeavored to work upon.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book addresses the religious issue of spiritual comfort, a solace necessary for all in life's tribulations. Historically, this comfort has been sought from religious officials, but theological disputes have cast doubt on many doctrines, creating a decline in spiritual trust. The author explores this subject through the philosophies of Bergson and Eucken, expounding on the concept of a personal moral responsibility, whereby an individual must answer only to their own God or personal higher power. This book will be of particular interest to those in philosophy and theology and brings new light and context to ancient ideological standpoints.
