In this 1902 philosophical work on the relation of Christian belief to the natural sciences, the author considers the human soul, arguments for the existence of God, the divine mission of Jesus, the origin and authorship of the Gospels, the relation of faith to scripture, the place of evolution, and other topics. Fisher directly addresses the religious doubts of his generation in engaging prose.
