The New Theology (1891)

The New Theology is a book written by John Bascom and first published in 1891. The book is a comprehensive exploration of the new theological ideas that were emerging in the late 19th century. Bascom, a theologian and philosopher, examines the changing attitudes towards religion and spirituality in the modern world, and offers his own insights into the nature of God, the role of faith, and the meaning of life.The book is divided into six chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of the new theology. The first chapter discusses the changing attitudes towards religion and spirituality in the modern world, and the second chapter examines the nature of God and the role of faith in understanding the divine. The third chapter explores the meaning of life and the purpose of human existence, while the fourth chapter looks at the relationship between science and religion.The fifth chapter of the book is dedicated to the concept of evolution, and how it challenges traditional religious beliefs. Bascom argues that evolution does not necessarily contradict the idea of God, but rather offers a new perspective on the divine. The final chapter of the book examines the future of theology and the role it will play in shaping the spiritual landscape of the modern world.Overall, The New Theology is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the changing attitudes towards religion and spirituality in the late 19th century. Bascom's ideas continue to be relevant today, as people continue to grapple with questions of faith, meaning, and purpose in a rapidly changing world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
