By James MacBride Sterrett

Book Overview

Reason And Authority In Religion (1890) is a philosophical treatise written by James Macbride Sterrett. The book explores the relationship between reason and authority in religious belief systems. Sterrett argues that while reason is a vital component of religious understanding, it cannot be the sole basis for religious beliefs. Instead, he posits that authority, whether it be in the form of religious texts or institutional teachings, must also play a role in shaping religious beliefs.

The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to both scholars and lay readers interested in the philosophy of religion.
