STREETER, BURNETT HILLMAN, ed. Spirit; the relation of God and man, considered from the standpoint of recent philosophy and science. *$2.50 Macmillan 231
19–19611
“The movement toward a scientific and philosophical conception of God is materially aided by the publication of a book called ‘The spirit,’ edited by Canon B. H. Streeter of the Church of England. ‘This volume,’ says the editor, ‘puts forward a conception of spirit—considered as God in action—which is definite but not scholastic, and which is capable of affording a basis both for a coherent philosophy and for a religion passionate and ethical, mystical and practical.’ The chapter on Immanence and transcendance is by Prof. A. Pringle-Pattison. Miss Lily Dougall writes on God in action. The psychology of power is treated by Capt. J. A. Hadfield of the Ashhurst neurological war hospital at Oxford. A. Clutton-Brock’s customary distinction of mind and style is apparent in two chapters on Spiritual experience and Spirit and matter. Other chapters are What happened at Pentecost by Rev. C. A. Anderson Scott, The psychology of grace, by Rev. C. W. Emmet, The language of the soul, by Miss Dougall and Christ, the revolutionary by Canon Streeter.”—Springf’d Republican

“Alike in its fearlessness, in its refusal to make terms with narrow types of orthodoxy, and in its strong Christocentric theology it is a characteristic product of modern English religious thought. Its main defect is that it only implicitly recognizes the affirmation of modern research that Christianity is a synthesis.”
