Excerpt from Theology and Human Problems: A Comparative Study of Absolute Idealism and Pragmatism as Interpreters of Religion; The Nathaniel William Taylor for 1909-10, Given Before the Divinity of Yale University
Most of these elaborate theological writings of the past are for our time what the wooden frigates of our navy were for the Civil War. On a certain day in Hampton Roads one monitor proved to be worth twenty frigates for the protection of the cause of the Union. The more intricate the scheme of spars and rigging on those stately vessels, the more fatally did they carry their crews down into the sea. There was a new situation to cope with, and hence new methods of defence and attack were te quired. In a similar way new situations con front us in the world of thought, and the Church militant must have its Ericssons and its Edisons as well as its officers of the line if it is to hold its ancient place in our civilization.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book initiates readers into the radiant world of theology by explaining it through the prism of human experience. The author masterfully contrasts three schools of thoughtâ"the cloistral, the clinical, and the pragmaticâ"to reveal how they interpret religious truths. The cloistral method draws on philosophy and tradition rather than human experience to understand religion. The clinical method, on the other hand, emphasizes the centrality of religious experience as a pathway to apprehending religious truth. Finally, the pragmatic approach regards religious ideas as tools that gain meaning from their practical usefulness. The book's profound exploration into the interplay between these different methods encourages readers to use their own experiences as lenses through which to comprehend the divine.
