Author Description

Excerpt from Christian Beliefs Reconsidered in the Light of Modern Thought It may perhaps be thought that I ignore too much any theory of inspiration which may, at least, con cern the earlier chapters of Genesis. Although I do not advance any theory of my own, I do hold the belief that there has ever been a divine purpose maintained throughout the entire Scriptures; that while the presence of an over-ruling Divine hand may not be evidently or even logically deducible in Genesis, yet the great end of Revelation, namely, the manifestation of the Moral character Of God, as exemplified in Jesus Christ, fully justifies the belief that the Holy Spirit has been ever present through out, working out the salvation of mankind through human and other secondary agencies according to His will. If the saying recorded of Abbé Bautain be true that Logic is a terrible cause of error, I plead guilty to having tried to be as logical as I can; but I trust, as the discovery of Truth is the sole Object of the following Re-considerations, that whatever logic may be herein found, it may be the humble means of removing error and not a fresh cause of it.
