Abstract
IN a previous volume, “Evolution and the Need of Atonement,” Mr. Stewart McDowall sought to show the necessity for a teleological interpretation of the evolution-process. He continues his adventurous thinking, which is always welcome, and his aim is to restate the doctrine of the Trinity in terms that are consonant with modern thought, or with certain lines of modern thought. The truth of a doctrine does not stand or fall, he says, with the terminology in which it is expressed, and he considers the doctrine of the Trinity sub specie evolutionis, so to speak.
