Opis: Belief in God - Savage Minot J.

Excerpt from Belief in God: An Examination of Some Fundamental Theistic Problems<br><br>If a book does not commend itself by meeting a want and accomplishing a work, there is little use in an explanatory preface as a defence against either the public or the critics. In the present state of the public mind on the subject of Theism, no apology for speaking is required from him who honestly thinks he has anything to say. Whether the speaking has been to any useful purpose, the audience itself must decide. The author ventures to believe, however, that, both as to method and result, he has something to offer that is not merely an echo of what has already been said. Believing "the scientific method" the only one by which truth is to be attained, the attempt has been made to avoid all assumption. And if all the following positions cannot be scientifically demonstrated, it is believed that, at any rate, nothing is yet known that can contradict them. The term, scientific method, is of course used in its broadest sense, as including the observation, orderly arrangement, and verification of all known truth. No one has the right to narrow it down to anything less inclusive.<br><br>The following eight chapters are only eight Sunday morning discourses, delivered in the regular order of the author's work. But, judging by their reception as thus given, he dares to hope they may be of use to some beyond the limits of his usual congregation. It is perhaps proper to say that, with two exceptions, they have never been written, but are published from the stenographer's reports.<br><br>The author takes the liberty of calling special attention to the address by his brother. He believes its method to be new, its treatment fresh, and its argument unanswerable.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
