Excerpt from The Christian Doctrine of SinIt is interesting to trace, both in Theology and Philosophy, the interdependence of what may be called Anthropological and Theological questions. Man's conception of himself, of his own nature, is never separable from his higher conception Of the Divine. He is really, even when his thoughts seem to wander furthest away or most aloft, the pivot round which they turn. What he is himself, or is supposed to be, gives the colour to all he thinks of Nature around him, and God above him. There never was a vainer e'ort than that so much vaunted at present Of casting aside anthropological ideas. NO more than-man can strip himself of his nature can he strip his thought of the folds in which that nature enwraps it. There is a sense, and a right sense, in which man's thought Of himself - what fie is - must mould all his other thought, philosophical as well as theological.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
