Published in 1912, this collection of seven essays sets out Royce’s own religious views on such topics as ’The Religious Problem and the Human Individual, ’ ’Individual and Social Experience as Sources of Religious Insight, ’ ’The World and the Will, ’ and ’The Religious Mission of Sorrow.’ The New York Times called it ’vital and intelligible.’
