Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christianity or Secularism: Which Is the Better for Mankind?: Verbatim Report of the Great Debate Between Mr. W. T. Lee (Representing the North London Christian Evidence League) And Mr. Joseph McCabe (Representing the Rationalist Press Association, Limited), Held at the Town Hall, Holborn, on Thursday and Friday Eve Mr. Lee: Mr. Chairman, Mr. McCabe, Ladies and Gentlemen, By Christianity I understand those Ideas, precepts, and doctrines given to the world by Jesus Christ, and which are made known to thought and proved to be applicable to life in the various books of the New Testament. These ideas, precepts, and doctrines embrace God and man, sin and salvation, time and eternity; and constitute a religion which has not merely a local or temporal meaning, but also a universal and eternal significance. In this religion God is represented as Perfect Father and Holy Love, and is declared to have expressed Himself in the wondrous life and work of Jesus Christ. This religion regards man as not only needing redemption, but also as having a value greater than that of worlds. Hence it addresses its appeals to man as man, without regard to culture, creed, or country, and aims to establish a kingdom of redeemed men which shall out-last time and transcend all material, social, and national limitations. This, then, is what I understand by Christianity. By Secularism I mean all those forms of thought and theories of conduct which have their origin and their end in this world, without reference to any other a - world whose substance Is material, and whose latent and active energies are mechanical. In a word, Secularism is a system of Naturalism - a system which looks on the world order as a closed circuit, and therefore rejects all ideas of God, Freedom, and Immortality as valueless and pernicious - denying the presence and action of Spirit in the affairs of men. It grounds its hopes for the betterment of mankind on the doctrine of salvation by organisation. Recognising that the natures of some men are radically corrupt. It gives these up to destruction. Thus Secularism in relation to God is Atheistic; in relation to nature is Materialistic; in relation to man is Pessimistic. This brings us to the word "man," which, I presume, my friendly opponent will allow me to suppose includes woman. What do we mean by "man"? If we study men, we shall find that they appear to think, speak, and act as though they were rational, moral, and religious beings. They live not only in a world of things, but of thoughts, of feelings, of deeds, of worship. These thoughts, these feelings, these deeds, this worship, are hall-marks of personality; they not only exist, they have power, they have meaning, they have value, and cannot be made part and parcel of any world-order which is interpreted by mechanical processes alone. Man is more than a body energised by physical forces: he is a mind, a will, a person. With these interpretations before us, the question at once arises, is Christianity or Secularism the better for man? I suggest to you that the better system for man is the one which has done, is doing, and is likely to do, the most for man. As a matter of theory. Secularism should have done the most for man. First, because it is older than Christianity. Second, because it claims to have a firmer grasp on reality.

Book excerpt: We live in an age of skepticism. Our society places such faith in empirical reason, historical progress, and heartfelt emotion that it’s easy to wonder: Why should anyone believe in Christianity?

In this thoughtful and inspiring new book, pastor and New York Times bestselling author Timothy Keller invites skeptics to consider that Christianity is more relevant now than ever. As human beings, we cannot live without meaning, satisfaction, freedom, identity, justice, and hope. Christianity provides us with unsurpassed resources to meet these needs.

Download or read book Honest Religion for Secular Man written by Lesslie Newbigin and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2011-08-05 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Religion is much too great and permanent an element in human experience to be swept out of sight," writes Bishop Newbigin. "I want to ask what must be the religion of a Christian who accepts the process of secularization and lives fully in the kine of world into which God has led us."His answer involves relating the universal fact of secularization to the biblical picture of the nature and destiny of man. It involves, too, some criticism of recent Christian responses to secularization - but the whole tone of this book is positive. The emphasis is on knowing God, being God's people, and living of God in the midst of the secular.
