Life is a constant search for meaning, and reflective minds need to find deeper and more comprehensive meaning than that normally proffered by the orthodox teaching of any creedal religion.

When this book was initially published in 1964, religion had begun to recognize the importance of psychology and psychology had considered a spiritual principle in man.

Miss Isherwood s purpose in writing this book is to relate science and religion more closely. Her theme is that the evolution of consciousness from protozoa provides a link which not only gives grounds for faith in life...

This discussion of the search for religious truth addresses a universal view of religion that can be termed philosophical mysticism from a rational basis of experience. Originally published in 1915, this is a classic of theological thinking that investigates the fundamental nature of religion and perfect experience."

The increasing secularization of political thought between the mid-seventeenth and mid-nineteenth centuries has often been noted, but rarely described in detail. The contributors to this volume consider the significance of the relationship between religious beliefs, dogma and secular ideas in British political philosophy from Thomas Hobbes to J.S. Mill.

This seminal work, originally published in 1940 is a lucid and profound discussion in theological philosophy.
