Essays and Addresses on the Philosophy of Religion (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Essays and Addresses on the Philosophy of Religion

IT will be seen that the following Essays and Addresses were composed or delivered at various dates between 1904 and 1922. The second and sixth have already been privately printed; the ninth and tenth, of a slighter char acter than the others, appeared in The Student Movement and The Challenge respectively. The rest, as far as I have been able to ascertain, are now published for the first time. The earliest of these, Official Authority and Living Religion, was revised by Father George Tyrrell, and the author incorporated some of Tyrrell's suggestions into the substance of the essay. The address to which Baron von Huge] himself would probably have attached the most importance is the seventh, Suffering and God, which was prepared for the London Society for the Study of Religion, although only certain portions of it were actually read at the meeting. I feel confident that I am interpreting the Baron's wishes in dedicating the whole volume to the members of that Society, of which he was one of the founders, to which he devoted so much loving care and thought, and which so often had the inestimable privilege of listening to his words.
