Faith and Its Psychology (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

by William Ralph Inge

Overview

In this 1910 philosophical work, the author argues that religious faith is part of human nature, that faith takes over the entire human mind and body, and that all defects in religion result from the premature arresting of the development of faith. He criticizes appeal to the authority of Scripture and other ideas.
