Excerpt from Morality and the State
The facts disclosed in human consciousness must be made to harmonize with the teachings of divine wisdom; subjective and objective morality must and can be reconciled. In God's works there can be no conflicts; all must agree, all must harmonize; all amen-mt conflicts must arise from our ignorance. Hence, the intelligent Christian knows that Christianity has nothing to fear from such discussions; they can only tend to elabo rate the truth; a sharp presentation of error may be the very means of leading to a clear perception of the truth.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the core principles of morality and how they relate to the governance of society. The author argues that a successful morality must be grounded in a conception of God as the creator and moral governor of humankind, because without this premise, all is mere expediency and selfishness, a system of means to an end, and that end man's self-development. The book goes on to examine the idea of obligation, which it argues cannot be constructed except upon the assumption of a God and the divine government of society; without this assumption, the author posits that there is no basis for duty and that the individual, society, and the state all become divine, and all social institutions become instruments by which God seeks to develop humanity into that spiritual perfection of which it seems capable, and which is the aim and end of man's labors and of God's providences.
