Excerpt from Authority: The Function of Authority in Life and Its Relation to Legalism in Ethics and Religion
The discussion, moreover, has special refer ence to the present trend of theological opinion. Quotations are numerous, though they are used as illustrations rather than as authority. Still, the weight of expert opinion, of course, may be used as corroborative evidence in argument. If this essay does not convince, it may at least clarify some notions regarding the subject; or, better still, it may occasion abler scholars to give it deserved attention. For one thing is certain: Authority must become the most vital question for an age which - rightly or wrongly - tends to challenge its established forms.
