Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Grasps of Guess: Some Letters of a Modern Thinker
One remembers from early college days how the scholar who was well placed as to companionship with equals in the same study was advantaged in comparison with another whose intellectual converse was only with tutor and professor. That advantage is lent to the reader of these studies in the faith, who otherwise would be a solitary explorer of the truth. For when our author is discussing that difficulty of the man in the street, Why did not God stop the war? Or How is it the Bible says things that are not true? Or the eternal problems of death and after-death, he keeps alongside of his even Christian, the fellow-traveller who has less carefully prepared himself for the adventure. Nor does he let himself outstrip his companion too far when he deals with the scholar's perplexity of the Virgin Birth, or makes excursion into the more uncharted tract of speculation on the doctrines of the Trinity, free-will, and the Absolute. The delicate section titled Peter Pan and the Crucifix should not be overlooked by readers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
