In this 1908 work for believers and skeptics alike, the distinguished theologian discusses the human relationship to the concept of God. He invokes the need for traditionalists to make room for interpretation, asserts the selfishness of belief in an eternal soul, and considers whether Christian theists are really pagans.

He pioneered interfaith dialogue, as well as created his own concept of religion, called the Religion of Science.
