Lyman Abbott was an American liberal theologian and a confidant of
Theodore Roosevelt. He was a moderate man who sought to
re-establish Christian faith among the American people in a period
of change. This book, first published in 1893, argued that
spiritual experience is always new and therefore every age requires
a new expression for it. A believer in the possibility of
harmonious coexistence between the Church and evolutionary theory,
Abbott proposed a 'more intelligible and credible' religion that
endeavoured to sustain faith by expressing it in contemporary
terms. He maintained that science and faith were compatible and
that both natural and spiritual elements belonged to a shared
kingdom governed by the law of progress. Blending faith in
historical Christianity with belief in progress and evolutionary
theory, Abbott aimed to provide a bridge between religious life and
late nineteenth-century philosophical thought.
