Ladd, George Trumbull. Philosophy of religion: critical and speculative treatise of man’s religious experience and development in the light of modern science and reflective thinking. 2v. **$7. Scribner.
“The present work presents at considerable length the facts of man’s religious experience, the origin and development of religion in various races, and the relation of religion to other departments of human life, and this treatment of phenomenology of religion is followed by a criticism of the conceptions and tenets of spiritual experience from the point of view of modern science and philosophy. It aims to be a quite free and scientific treatise of the total religious life and religious development of humanity, but its chief interest is to prove philosophically that theism is entirely tenable and also demonstrable by the instruments in the hands of philosophy.”—Ind.
“The work is erudite and encyclopaedic, even heavily so at times; but the vital dialectic of his discussions, and the living search for truth that dominates the whole work, will make it of intense interest to the student of the subject. We regard it as an enriching contribution to the developing science of religion.” Herbert Alden Youtz.
