Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outlines of Social Theology Idealism and theology, originally joined together in "the Gospel according to St. John," were put asunder through the estrangement of the Greek and Latin churches. The Greek church put a metaphysic in the place of religion, and paid the penalty in spiritual sterility. The Latin church put authority in the place of reason, and paid the penalty in intellectual barrenness. Protestantism has inherited the Greek formulas without the philosophy which gave them meaning, and the Latin distrust of reason without the authority which made dogmatism effective. The remedy lies in a reunion of vital religion with rational theology. The time has not come for writing this new theology. The returns from psychology and sociology, on which it will depend, are not yet in. A man however may blaze a path, even though he lacks the materials and the capacity to build a road.
