Abstract

W. W. Bryden's The Christian's Knowledge of God. Because, in the first instance, this work is concerned in a measure with Christian epistemology, a field which suffers but scanty and infrequent cultivation. And, secondly, the book is written with unflagging vigour, much erudition, and an adroit mastery of words. It sustains with striking consistency a thesis difficult to state and expose within the framework of logical propositions. And it abounds in trenchant criticism of facile interpretations of Christianity: blatant writers "full of noisy, catchy phrases" come in for rebuke, as well as preachers of quieter mien who teach "a church calculated to become ... scarcely more than an educational, social, and humanitarian institution" Professional theologians who talk glibly of "rational faith" will find within its pages cause for much reflection, as will their amateur disciples who are wont to undertake juvenile pilgrimages "through Science to God."
