Download or read book An Agnostic's Apology written by Leslie Stephen and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-13 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A gripping and emotional work around the power of religion and the defense of agnosticism, Leslie Stephen's An Agnostic's Apology and Other Essays is considered a seminal work in religious studies. Through the course of his life, Leslie Stephen held many professions including clergyman, journalist, author, and literary critic. In addition to his contributions to these fields, he is also known as the father of famous author Virginia Wolf and famous artist Vanessa Bell. Stephen was born and raised in London and many of his childhood experiences were shaped by religion. His immediate family was part of an early 19th century group of evangelical Christian social reformers known as the Clapham Sect, known for their religious mission and social activism. When Stephen went off to college, he continued his religious exploration through study and eventually became an Anglican clergyman. By his 30s, however, he renounced his religious beliefs and became an investigative journalist, both changes led to the writing and publication of his book An Agnostic's Apology and Other Essays. Stephen begins the book by describing the difference between an atheist (one who does not believe in any god) and an agnostic (one who questions the existence of a god). "The Agnostic is one who asserts 'what no one denies' that there are limits to the sphere of human intelligence..." This distinction is important for the reader to fully understand Stephen's points in his book. His work is colored with the same fervor and poignancy that filled his spiritual life and his argument for Agnosticism reads like a sermon. Each of the essays in An Agnostic's Apology and Other Essays are about religion and religious themes. The Skepticism of Believers, Dreams and Realities; What is Materialism?; Newman's Theory of Belief; Poisonous Opinions; and The Religion of all Sensible Men are all topics explored in the book. Stephen's own personal experiences help shade his approach to the topic of religion in an interesting and dynamic way. His own religious beliefs, or lack thereof, give an interesting look into religion during his lifetime. This book is an excellent read and highly recommended for any reader.

This book was released on 2017-12-26 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Short Essays in Refutation of Agnosticism, Atheism, and Materialism The object of the writer of the following short Essays is to place the subject of Infidelity in so plain and concise a form before the minds of general readers, as to make it easy for those who have not time nor opportunity to read books on the subject, of more extensive and elaborate form. If my design in this, my first effort, adds to the defence of Truth against Error and Atheism, I will feel myself highly gratified that I have given a helping hand to the active ministers of the Gospel, and friends of Divine truth. I have mentioned some of the ancient Greek philosophers on purpose to show the difference and contrast between them and modern Darwinian Agnostics and Positivists of the present time, and that the ancient Greeks were men of higher and purer conceptions of thought than the Free thinkers of the present day, although they lived in darker times.

Download or read book Faith and Sight written by William Pierson Merrill and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-20 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Pierson Merrill was a well known American clergyman, pacifist, a very prolific hymn writer, and an exceedingly popular author. The book Faith and Sight: Essays on the Relation of Agnosticism to Theology compiles several of Merrill's lesser known essays on religion into a single anthology. Each of these essays has a clear voice and a focused intent behind the writing. The eleven pieces in this anthology cover a wide range of ideas about religion and theology that any reader will enjoy. During the course of his career, Merrill was considered by many to be one of the most influential ministers in America. His work unifying political, academic, and religious leaders as the first president of an organization called the Church Peace Union solidified his mission of promoting peace and pacifism. His popularity and his mission guided his writings and how the general public received his publications. The tone of his writing and the content of his essays are certainly slanted based on his mission and his reputation. Faith and Sight: Essays on the Relation of Agnosticism to Theology is an interesting read for any individual intrigued by the life and times of William Pierson Merrill. He was a man who was a leader among men during his career, and Merrill's book is a fascinating glimpse into his beliefs, thoughts, ideas, and practices. This book is also stands out as a very interesting read for religious scholars, historians, those interested in philosophy, or those with a passing interesting in religious opinion pieces. Don't miss this opportunity to read the work of one of America's greatest religious authors! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Kant and Spencer: A Study of the Fallacies of Agnosticism We have a high respect for Mr. Spencer as a man and a thinker, but it is a great pity that with all his brilliant talents, with all his ambition and energy, he has been deficient in thoroughness and earnestness. As a philosopher.he is a dilettante. Dilettantism is a marked feature not only of his entire system but also of the way in which he has worked it out. Kant was too heavy reading for him and the labor of studying his works did not seem prom ising. Mr. Spencer. As a thinker. Follows the principle of Hedon ism; he shirks the toil of research and engages in such subjects only as can easily be woven into feuilletonistic essays.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Guesses at the Riddle of Existence: And Other Essays on Kindred Subjects The spirit in which these pages are penned is not that of Agnosticism, if Agnosticism imports despair of spiritual truth, but that of free and hopeful inquiry, the way for which it is neces sary to clear by removing the wreck of that upon which we can found our faith no more. To resign untenable arguments for a belief is not to resign the belief, while a belief bound up with untenable arguments will share their fate. Where the conclusions are, or seem to be, negative, no one will rejoice more than the writer to see the more welcome view reasserted and fresh evidence of its truth supplied.

Download or read book Through Agnostic Spectacles (Classic Reprint) written by Alexander Kadison and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alexander Kadison was a devout agnostic although he wrote many essays and articles on the topic of religion during his lifetime. The book Through Agnostic Spectacles houses several of his best essays on agnosticism. For those unfamiliar with the term, agnostic refers to a person who claims neither belief nor disbelief in a higher power, or "God." This book begins with Kadison's creed which states "Reason my final arbiter shall be; Blind faith is barred from my philosophy. Nor God nor Christ know I: my deity is Man; my creed bows to no fetish. Neither do I crave salvation in a life beyond the grave: Far better strive mankind on earth to save through word and deed." This creed sets the tone, not just for Kadison's approach to religion, but for the entire text of the book. The line: "Blind faith is barred from my philosophy" alone establishes that Kadison has made it his mission to investigate religion instead of blindly following it. In Through Agnostic Spectacles readers are given a glimpse of this scholar's fascinating point of view on religion. Kadison's beliefs (or lack thereof) represent a subset of religious believers, one which many readers may not have been exposed to prior to this. His arguments for agnosticism run throughout the essays as he tries to sway the reader from blind faith towards a more balanced approach to religion. Overall, the book is an intriguing historic look at religion and individual approaches to the concept of God. An interesting read for anyone who wants to explore religion and personal beliefs that are different than societal norms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christianity and Agnosticism: A Controversy Now we are not here concerned with this doctrine as a mere question of abstract philosophy respecting the limits of our natural capacities. We have to consider it in relation to the Church and to Christianity, and the main consideration which it is the purpose of this paper to suggest is that, in this relation, the adoption of the term agnostic is only an attempt to Shift the issue, and that it involves a mere evasion. A Christian Catechism says: First, I learn to believe in God the Father, who hath made me, and all the world; secondly, in God the Son, who hath redeemed me, and all mankind; thirdly, in God the Holy Ghost, who sanctifieth me, and all the elect people of God. The agnostic says: H ow do you know all that? I consider I have no means of knowing these things you assert respecting God. I do not know, and can not know, that God is a Father, and that he has a Son; and I do not and can not know that such a Father made me, or that such a Son redeemed me. But the Christian did not Speak of what he knew, but of what he believed. The first word of a Christian is not I know, but I believe. He professes, not a science, but a faith; and at baptism he accepts, not a theory, but a creed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

As chance decides, however, he chooses a different route, meets a mad dog, gets badly bitten, and after weeks of mental anguish dies the ghastliest and most hideous death we know of.
