Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Problems and Principles Being Papers on Subjects, Theological and Ecclesiastical
The collection has been entitled Problems and Principles, because Dr. Moberly's great aim was to get at the right principles underlying the matter in hand, compared with which he con sidered that the details are of small importance. He was deeply convinced of the vast influence that is exercised upon mankind by ideas, and that right thinking must in the long. Run win the victory - fortis est veritas et firaewlet; and with this conviction he fearlessly assailed the problems that face us, whether in theology or in ecclesiasti cal politics. Further, the fact that his writings are concerned with principles gives them a per manent value reaching beyond the particular circumstances which were their immediate occa sion. Including nearly all his printed utterances outside his books, the form of these papers is varied - some are sermons, some pamphlets, some papers read at meetings but under the diversity of form lies a fundamental unity of thought and method. In arranging the papers attention has been paid to their subject-matter and logical con nection rather than to the chronological order of their composition.
