Synopsis

This book, first published in 1906, proposes a philosophical exploration of religion and the evolution of Christian ideas in the advent of Darwinism. The author, whose intellectual landscape is strongly influenced by the ideas of personal idealism, presents a series of lectures addressing the evolution of ideas concerning God and religion in light of the scientific developments of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Specifically, he examines the implications of Charles Darwin’s theory of natural selection, and the philosophical challenges it presented to the argument from design. The author also suggests a restated argument from design in light of these developments. The book’s insights are particularly important because they attempt to reconcile Darwin’s findings with the existence of purpose in nature and the validity of religious belief.
