First published in 1918, this book constitutes a restatement of the Doctrine of the Holy Trinity from an evolutionary standpoint. Implicit in this aim is the requirement that the truth of a doctrine is not essentially attached to the terminology in which it is expressed, so that the key idea survives as the original terminology becomes archaic. The bulk of the text is devoted to various aspects of the human personality, taking into account modern discoveries but always assuming the prior existence of a spiritual environment in which God is regarded as 'the Ground of Reality'.

First published in 1914, as the second edition of a 1912 original, this book provides a detailed discussion of the relationship between evolution and the central Christian principle of atonement. Intended 'as a restatement of certain fundamental doctrines of Christianity from that point of view which the spirit of the age forces upon us', the text attempts to reconcile concepts such as sin and alienation from God with the biological focus of evolutionary theory.
