Authority in Religion (Classic Reprint)

Angebote / Angebote:

Excerpt from Authority in ReligionThe purpose of this book is not so much dogmatic as suggestive. It does, however, endeavour to present a systematic treatment of its theme. Its argument is mediating and conservative. It attempts to show that the theory which traces Authority in Religion to the direct, universal communion of God with man involves recognition of the great 'objective' forms in which Authority presents itself as a fact of history and of experience.Many great books have been written on Authority, in English, German, and (especially perhaps) in French. But there may be room for a short treatise, introductory to the subject and seeking to combine brevity with some degree of comprehensiveness and system.It may be objected to the plan of this book that it does not contemplate any separate treatment of the Authority of the Bible.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
