THE question of religion merges, in the present day, into that of Christianity; and Christianity, when reflectively realised, becomes a formal system of theology. We see, therefore, at the one extreme, pure philosophical thinking, developed according to the fixed laws of the human mind; and, at the other extreme, a complete system of Christian theology, with all its supernatural elements interwoven into it. The philosophy of religion takes these two points, as data; it sees them existing as facts in the human consciousness: and the problem it has to solve is, to connect them in such a manner that their true relationship becomes manifest, and their respective grounds of certitude clearly determined.-MORELL. |
