Opis: Modernism in Religion (Classic Reprint) - Sterrett James Macbride

Excerpt from Modernism in Religion

"Work of his hand
He nor commends, nor grieves -
Pleads for itself the fact;
As unrepenting nature leaves
Her every act."

Personally these lines of Emerson would suffice for a preface. But I have to consider those for whom I have written this book.

I hesitated much before giving it the personal touch. I overcame this hesitation for two reasons: (1) it is largely a personal confession of a spiritual pilgrimage to a haven that is not storm tossed with doubt; (2) I believe that the practical purpose of the book will thereby be best served.

I am a convinced modernist in religion. I have been through all the doubts and difficulties that assail the modern mind as regards conventional types of institutional Christianity. I see how a man of modern culture may frankly and earnestly worship God in some form of an authoritative religion - in any form rather than in none, if he cares to forward the Kingdom of God on earth, which was the master passion of the Master.

But there are multitudes who do not. Very many of the university and college-bred men and women are floundering in a state of doubt raised by the results of the new learning and the twentieth century world-view. This has brought them to the stage of enlightenment as regards conventional forms.
