Creeds Or No Creeds A Critical Examination Of The Basis Of Modernism 1922 PDF Download

Excerpt from Creeds or No Creeds?: A Critical Examination of the Basis of Modernism MY old friend and pupil, Dr. Harris, meets the Modernist views, of which we now hear so much, from a new point of view. Usually the question raised is - can they be reconciled with the Faith? He rightly raises the pre liminary question - can they be justified by the principles of philosophic and historic criticism on which they profess to be based? On his philosophic discussions I do not pretend to express an opinion I only know that he was considered, when a scholar here, to have one of the most acute and original philosophic minds of his time, and also that for thirty years he has continued to study the great problems of thought. For myself, I can only judge at all of the historical and critical methods of Modernism, as I have had occasion to study them when applied to Ancient History there I have often found a marked tendency to confuse the merely possible with the probable, and to refuse to accept the obvious meaning of evidence because it does not square with the a {mod conclusions of the critic.'
