Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Kingdom of God: An Essay in Theology; The Bohlen Lecture, 1897
The historical ideal is the complete and satisfactory exposition of the genetic development of beliefs, institutions, etc. It takes no account whatever of the inherent truth. The philosophical and religious ideal on the other hand is the pure fact, the absolute truth. The two are wide apart, and the theologian looks upon the historical as a means to the end; he will keep his eye fixed on the finality, the abso lute truth.
