This volume contains three parts which are related to each other as
the three stories of one and the same edifice. The first treats of
religion and its origin; the second of Christianity and its
essence; the third of Dogma and its nature. Proceeding thus from
the general to the particular, from the elementary forms of
religion to its highest form, passing afterwards from religious
phenomena to religious doctrines, I have endeavoured to develop a
series of connected and progressive views which I do not wish to be
regarded as a system, but as the rigid application and the first
results of the method of strictly psychological and historical
observation that for years I have applied to this species of
studies. In no domain is there a greater incoherence of ideas, a
sharper conflict of feeling, or data more contradictory or, at all
events, more difficult to reconcile. In no other is it more urgent
to introduce a little sequence, clearness, harmony. Our century,
from the beginning, has had two great passions which still inflame
and agitate its closing years. It has driven abreast the twofold
worship of the scientific method and of the moral ideal; but, so
far from being able to unite them, it has pushed them to a point
where they seem to contradict and exclude each other. Every serious
soul feels itself to be inwardly divided; it would fain conciliate
its most generous aspirations, the two last motives for living and
acting that still remain to it. Where but in a renovated conception
of religion will this needed reconciliation be found?
