By L.P. Jacks

Book Overview

Authority in Religious Belief: And Other Essays is a collection of essays written by Lawrence Pearsall Jacks and published in 1907. The book explores the concept of authority in religious belief and its influence on human behavior and society. Jacks argues that authority in religious belief is a necessary aspect of human existence, as it provides a sense of purpose and direction in life. However, he also acknowledges the potential dangers of blind faith and the need for critical thinking in religious belief. The essays cover a range of topics, including the role of religion in society, the relationship between science and religion, and the nature of religious experience. Jacks draws on a variety of sources, including philosophy, psychology, and theology, to present a nuanced and thought-provoking exploration of the topic.
