Excerpt from Evolution and the Doctrine of the Trinity The best way to start such a restatement of the Doctrine of the Holy Trinity seemed to be by examining anew the conception of personality, both in its manward and Godward aspects. When this had been done, a fresh start was made in the examination of Christhood the link between Godhead and manhood. Yet another starting point presented itself in the almost universal belief in human immortality. Lastly, the evolution of personality itself demanded consideration. As in each and all of these matters one was almost immediately faced with the double problem of imman ence and transcendence, it quickly became clear that little progress could be made until these had been care fully considered. Therefore a preliminary chapter on this subject was worked out. Although logically this chapter had to stand first, it is recommended that the reading of it be postponed until the first five chapters, at least, if not the whole of the rest of the book, have been studied. The subject matter is peculiarly difficult and technical, and its importance may escape notice until the reader has actually been brought face to face with the problems as they occur in the general discussion. It will be seen that the bulk of the book, therefore, consists of a series of separate essays which converge upon the different aspects of personality. As such they are necessarily not very closely articulated with one another, and it is only in the final chapter that they are linked so that a judgment of the evidence as a whole becomes possible.
