Abstract
IN these “Essays and Addresses” Mr. Wilson deals chiefly with problems connected with religion and morality, and his main object seems to be to show that theological and ethical principles, properly interpreted, are supported, instead of being contradicted, by scientific ideas. The book is evidently the result of much independent reflection. Mr. Wilson tries to grapple with no intellectual difficulty which he has not thoroughly examined, and in all his statements of scientific doctrine he is scrupulously exact. He refers to science in so many aspects that much of what he has to say may be studied with interest even by readers who do not feel that his arguments with regard to such subjects as “Miracles” and “Christian Evidences” are perfectly conclusive.
Essays and Addresses.
By the Rev. James M. Wilson (London: Macmillan and Co., 1887.)
