The Doctrine Of Development And Conscience Considered In Relation To The Evidences Of Christianity And Of The Catholic System Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from The Doctrine of Development and Conscience Considered in Relation to the Evidences of Christianity and of the Catholic System The doctrine of Development, which forms the principal subject of the following pages, has already, in several instances, been so ably and judiciously treated by other writers, that the appearance of the present work seems to require some explanation. The Theory of Development, as expounded in the remarkable Essay which has recently, from various causes, attracted such general attention, is one which presents so many different aspects and tendencies, that it would afford ample scope to various writers, even if no differences existed amongst them on religious questions. In the present state of things, however, the modes of treating such a subject must necessarily be multiplied by the prevalent diversities of opinion. Writers of a speculative and philosophical turn, will not be likely to adopt the same views of it as other writers whose tendencies are of a more practical description.
