Download or read book The Great and Good an Introduction to Rational Religion Classic Reprint written by and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-24 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Great and Good, an Introduction to Rational Religion Books on Religion fall under three heads: First, the great mass of orthodox literature; next, the semi orthodox; and lastly, that which is rational or openly heretical. The semi-orthodox writers are marked by caution, reticence, and something bordering on insincerity. They are adepts at pouring new wine into old bottles. They know exactly that spice of heresy which the public will tolerate, and are careful not to exceed it by the fraction of a grain. The rational or openly heretical books are mostly agnostic, atheistic, materialistic, or negative. In fact some people seem to regard the word rational as equivalent to atheistic. Not many books on Religion are at once frankly rational, and at the same time uncompromisingly idealist. Who will ascend the watch-tower of Idealism and tell us in plain language what he sees? If this task required any higher qualification than absolute sincerity, assuredly the present writer would not have undertaken it. The object, then, of this book is to state the religious opinions of the Great and Good men of past and present times, and to trace these opinions to Idealism as the central principle in which they meet and harmonise. Wherever possible I have given not my own words but those of some distinguished writer. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Rational Test written by Leander S. Keyser and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-20 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rational Test: Bible Doctrine in the Light of Reason To show that certain fundamental biblical doc trines, as held by orthodox believers, are reasonable that is the chief purpose of this volume. The author's position is that reason should not be placed above the Bible; that is rationalism. Very often the proper attitude of the human mind before God's truth is, Believing where we cannot prove. It is not ir rational that it should be so, for in many of the coma monest affairs of life We must Often walk by faith, and not by sightIt is incorrect to think that faith and reason are opposed to each other. This error springs from the supposition that faith and credulity are synonymous terms. So far from this being true, it is an undisputed fact that many of the wisest and best men of the world possess the most childlike faith in Christ and His revelation. Superior knowledge makes a man con scious of the limitations of human learning, and, there fore, leads to humble trust and a childlike disposition. Whether faith is rational or not depends upon its Object. Faith in that which is true and right is a most rational act of the soul blindly to accept error is credulity, and is, therefore, irrational.

Download or read book Russell on Religion written by Bertrand Russell and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Russell on Religion presents a comprehensive and accessible selection of Bertrand Russell's writing on religion and related topics from the turn of the century to the end of his life. The influence of religion pervades almost all Bertrand Russell's writings from his mathematical treatises to his early fiction. Russell contends with religion as a philosopher, as a historian, as a social critic and as a private individual. The papers in this volume are arranged chronologically for optimum coherence of the development of Russell's thinking and are divided into five main sections: * Personal statements * Religion and Philosophy * Religion and Science * Religion and Morality * Religion and History. Students at all levels will find this a valuable insight into Russell's thought on religion.
Download or read book Rational Theology written by John A. Widtsoe and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rational Theology: As Taught by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints A rational theology, as understood in this volume, is a theology which (1) is based on fundamental principles that harmonize with the knowledge and reason of man, (2) derives all of its laws, ordinances and authority from the accepted fundamental principles, and (3) finds expression and use in the everyday life of man. In short, a rational theology is derived from the invariable laws of the universe, and exists for the good of man. This volume is an exposition; it is not an argument. The principles of the Gospel, as held by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, are stated, briefly, simply and without comment, to show the coherence, reasonableness and universality of the gospel philosophy. The authority for many of the statements found in the volume is given in the references included in the appendix. The doctrines herein stated are, however, the common knowledge of the members of the Church. No attempt has been made to correlate the doctrines discussed with current philosophical opinions.

This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rational Religion, and the Rationalistic Objections of the Bampton Lectures for 1858 In one of my lectures on the Study of History, when I was searching for the true key to the History of Man, I introduced the following passage: - "The question then is, Can we find any hypothesis in accordance with the facts of history which will reconcile the general course of history to our sense of justice? I say to our sense of justice. I assume here that man has really been created in the image of God; that the morality of man points true, however remotely, to the morality of God; that human justice is identical with divine justice, and is therefore a real key to the history of the world. If, says Clarke, justice and goodness be not the same in God as in our ideas, then we mean nothing when we say that God is necessarily just and good; and for the same reason it may as well be said that we know not what we mean, when we affirm that He is an intelligent and wise Being; and there will be no foundation at all left on which we can fix anything.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rational Godliness: After the Mind of Christ, and the Written Voices of His Church "Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying? But he answered and said, Every planting, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up." - St Matthew, xv. "Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be? Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?" - St John, iii. "Your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. Howbeit, we speak wisdom among them that are perfect... Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? I think that I also have the Spirit of God... I speak as unto wise men; judge ye what I say; the bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?... No man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man... By one Spirit are we all baptized into one body... and have all been made to drink into one Spirit... Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular... Charity never faileth; but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. For wo know in part, and we prophesy in part... we see through a glass by way of figure: but then face to face; now I know in part...

Download or read book Rational Religion written by John Conway and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-16 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rational Religion, Vol. 4 The fact that this book is intended for Catholic readers, is no reason why it should not be useful for non-Catholics. I sincerely hope that our separated brethren, as well as those who are of the household of the faith, may derive some good from it. I have endeavored to put into what we may call foundation chapters - "The Existence of God," "The Divinity of Christ," "Miracles," etc. - a little more argument and information than are commonly found in popular books on such subjects. My object is not to convince Catholics, but to give them ready reasons for their faith in these subjects now-a-days so much talked of. I will not state as an excuse for defects, that the book has been written during the leisure hours of a busy year. If it is worth reading, then it should be read. If it does not repay perusal, then, no matter under what circumstances it has been written, its place should be with the many furniture books that afflict humanity. I take this opportunity of thanking the Rev. P. R. Heffron, D. D., Pastor of the Cathedral, St. Paul, for his many valuable suggestions, and for his kindness in reading my manuscript.
