Synopsis

The Christian Consciousness: Its Relation To Evolution In Morals And In Doctrine is a book written by John Sutherland Black that explores the relationship between the Christian consciousness and the evolution of morals and doctrine. The book delves into the idea that the Christian consciousness is not static, but rather evolves over time in response to changes in society and culture. Black argues that this evolution can be seen in both the moral teachings of the church and in its doctrinal beliefs. The book is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on the evolution of morals within Christianity, examining how the church has responded to changing societal norms and values throughout history. Black looks at various moral issues, such as slavery, women's rights, and war, and how the church's teachings on these issues have evolved over time. The second part of the book explores the evolution of Christian doctrine. Black argues that the church's beliefs and interpretations of scripture have also evolved over time, as new discoveries and cultural changes have challenged traditional understandings. He examines the role of reason and critical thinking in shaping Christian doctrine, and how different theological perspectives have emerged over the centuries. Overall, The Christian Consciousness: Its Relation To Evolution In Morals And In Doctrine is a thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between Christianity and the changing world around it. It offers a nuanced and insightful perspective on how the Christian consciousness has evolved over time, and the implications of this evolution for the future of the church.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The literature that has been devoted to the Christian Consciousness has been of a fragmentary character. It has been employed for special purposes from the time of Schleiermacher to the present day. This will appear more at lengtli in the course of this work. But the employment of any tenet in philosophy or in doctrine for special purposes, A vhile it demonstrates the apologetic value of the doctrine, is unfavorable to its general reception and systematic study. It receives little more than a passing notice from A vriters on systematic theology and dogma. It has been called into the court of public discussion as a witness in favor of sensationalism, of Andover theology so-called, and of various views in eschatology. The opponents of these views naturally and alm6st inevitably regarded the A vitness with suspicion. Current controversy partakes largely of the nature of special pleading, and the first thing to do was to discredit the character and the testimony of the witness.

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.
