A series of ten essays, each from a different hand, and divided into two groups. The first six are included under the general title, “Approaches through science and education,” and deal “with the possible contemporary relations between science and religion (relations of an ironical nature) from the standpoint of the lay expert.” (Science). They are as follows: Physics, Sir O. Lodge; Biology, J. A. Thompson; Psychology, J. H. Muirhead; Sociology, V. V. Branford; Ethics, B. Russell; General and technical education, P. Geddes. The second group, entitled “Approaches through faith,” presents the clerical standpoint in its various phases as follows: The Presbyterian approach, J. Kelman; A Church of England approach, R. Payne; The church as seen from the outside, P. N. Waggett; The Church of Rome, W. Ward.

“Is conceived after an admirable plan. The minority of essays, which are good, are so thoroughly good, that they lift the work up to a high rank as a sadly-needed eirenicon.”

“A rather prosy introduction. The essays are of various degrees of merit.” T. D. A. Cockerell.
