Abbott, Lyman. Personality of God. [**]30c. Crowell.
A widely discussed sermon preached before the Harvard students, in which Dr. Abbott gives his definition of God. He aims to show the honest, sincere and rational man who is confused by the difference of opinion between a certain school of theologians and a certain school of scientists, that a belief in the Fatherhood of God is consistent with an acceptance of a thoroly modern scientific conception of the universe. The binding is uniform with the “What is worth while series.”

“The combined simplicity and the power of this address are great. It is interpretative to a rare degree. One breathes ‘an ampler ether, a diviner air’ while reading it.”
