Walker, Rev. William Lowe. Christian theism and a spiritual monism: God, freedom and immortality in view of monistic evolution. *$3. Scribner.
7–12986.
“The work aims to show what ground there is for Christian theism in the spiritual monism toward which science and philosophy now preponderate. Its author ... endeavors to ‘set forth that spiritual interpretation of the universe on the basis of Mr. Spencer’s system of philosophy which he himself affirmed to be possible.’... The argument is mainly objective, in an inductive method, and designed for ‘the plain man.’”—Outlook.
“Nowhere have we seen this thesis more lucidly and convincingly handled than by this able writer.”
