“The present volume by a Göttingen professor gives in a compact form to the general reader the main points in the great controversy that now seems to have been fought almost through.... He points out that it is not in the proper domain of science, but ‘in the teacup of logic and epistemology that the storm in regard to the theories of the universe has arisen.’ And he acutely concludes that the theory of naturalism, that there is no such thing as free creative mind, is refuted by its own existence as the actual progeny of such a mind.”—Outlook.
“He pursues [his argument] with enthusiasm as well as with logical force.”
