Cairns, D. S. Christianity in the modern world. *$1.25. Armstrong.
7–15937.
Mr. Cairns discusses the mighty principle of Christianity as it has come thru the centuries, with such settings, mainly dogmatic, as people’s understandings have afforded, until today it stands for greater impersonal might with “the line of its hope lying in its power to moralize the selfishness of the individual by transforming private interest into the ideal of a common good.” (Outlook.)
“There can be no doubt that Mr. Cairns’s warning is needed; but his book is by no means free from an a-priori-coloring.” Gerald Birney Smith.
