“These volumes present in rearranged form the Gifford lectures at Edinburgh in 1904 and 1905 by the Professor of Ecclesiastical history in Cambridge, England. What man has discovered concerning God through God’s revelation of himself to man is the theme given by the title. The first series discusses the reality and character of such a revelation and discovery of God in the universe and in man. The second series is devoted to a historico-critical survey of its development from the stage of primitive religion to the present.”—Outlook.
