Abstract

(1) IN Dr. Tennant's lucid and fair-minded discussion of the meaning of sin particular points might indeed be criticised. But the query in one's mind is rather the general one as to the value of the concept—why has there been a “decay of the sense of sin”? This is dealt with in an appendix, but quite other reasohs than those there recognised must, one feels, be faced.
