1. There is no special organ of religious knowledge, but
religious knowledge has many characteristics which may
be conveniently suggested by the use of the term 'faith,'
especially its connexion with character and Will.

2. The psychological causes of religious belief must be
carefully distinguished from the reasons which make it
true. No logic of discovery. Many religious ideas
have occurred in a spontaneous or apparently intuitive
way to particular persons, the truth of which the
philosopher may subsequently be able to test by
philosophical reflection, though he could not have
discovered them, but they are not necessarily true
because they arise in a spontaneous or unaccountable
manner, . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 134

is in a sense revealed, especially religious and moral

5. Degrees of truth in the historical religions. Dependence

ethical ideal which appeals to the universal Conscience
with a Theism which commends itself to Reason. The truth
of Christianity is dependent upon its appeal to the moral
and religious consciousness of the present, . . . . . . . 148

1. The claim of Christianity to be the special or absolute
Religion not dependent upon miracles.

2. Ritschlian Theologians right in resting the truth of
Christianity mainly upon the appeal made by Christ to
the individual Conscience: but wrong in disparaging
(_a_) philosophical arguments for Theism, (_b_) the
relative truth of non-Christian systems, (_c_) the
value of Doctrine and necessity for Development, . . . . . 161
