Excerpt from The Evolution of Man and Christianity "There can be little doubt in the mind of the thoughtful observer that we are now on the eve of the greatest change in traditional views that has taken place since the birth of Christianity. This change means not a readjustment of details only, but a reconstruction of Christian theology." It is because I am firmly convinced of the truth of these profound words that I have written this book. Three great forces, among others, will effect the theological and ecclesiastical revolution predicted - viz., Physical Science, Biblical Criticism, and the Social Movement. Our young men and women who enjoy the privileges of the higher education are becoming thoroughly imbued with the teachings of Physical Science, which, backed by Biblical Criticism, is aiming deadly blows at the miraculous features of popular Christianity, and, as will appear from the following pages, it is destined to profoundly modify our idea of miracles, and this means a complete reconstruction of traditional and popular theology. Evolution is "in the air, " and its fundamental tenets are being accepted (perhaps unconsciously) by all classes of minds - from a Huxley to a hod-carrier.
