Pantheistic dilemmas.-- -- A study in the philosophy styled pragmatism.-- -- Prominent features in the philosophy of Henri Bergson.-- -- The notion of a changing God.-- -- Attempts to dispense with the soul.-- -- Doctrinal values contributed by the reformation.-- -- John Henry Newman as Roman Catholic apologist.-- -- The truth and the error of mysticism.-- -- Bahaism historically and critically considered.
MOST of the themes considered in this volume are associated with important issues in the intellectual and religious world of to-day. Bahaism may appear to be an exception, but it has a measure of interest as being a most ambitious scheme of religious syncretism which has found adherents and propagators in this country. It affords, moreover, a natural occasion to test the claims of the Mohammedanism from which it originated and to which it accords a certain preference among religious antecedents .
