The Ascent Through Christ: A Study of the Doctrine of Redemption in the Light of the Theory of Evolution

The Ascent Through Christ is a comprehensive study of the doctrine of redemption in the context of the theory of evolution. Written by Griffith Jones, this book explores the idea of human evolution and how it relates to the Christian concept of salvation through Christ. The author delves into the history of Christian thought and examines the ways in which the theory of evolution has influenced our understanding of redemption. Through a careful analysis of biblical texts, Jones argues that the story of salvation is not incompatible with the theory of evolution, but rather can be seen as a natural progression of human spiritual development. The Ascent Through Christ is a thought-provoking and insightful work that will appeal to anyone interested in the intersection of science and religion.1899. Griffith-Jones writes in the preface that the purpose of the book is a study of certain spiritual facts, which cluster round the Mystery of Divine Redemption, viewed in the light of that great principle of Development which has taken possession of the mind of today, and which seems destined in its broader aspects, permanently to affect human thought in all its departments. These facts are, Sin and its correlative theory of the Fall of Man; the Person of Christ, His atoning death and Resurrection, and the New Life in Him, which embodies the highest moral and spiritual evolution of human character, and which is the Christian�������s surest ground for believing in a blessed Immortality; together with such subsidiary problems as radiate from these focal centers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
