THE HUMAN RACE AND REVELATION.


Should the intellect of the world return to theism, will it ever
again acknowledge a special revelation? 264

We can see that this is an urgent question 265

By many general considerations 265

Especially the career of Protestantism 267

Which is visibly evaporating into a mere natural theism 268

And, as such, is losing all restraining power in the world 271

Where then shall we look for a revelation? Not in any of the
Eastern creeds 275

The claims of the Roman Church are the only ones worth considering 276

Her position is absolutely distinct from that of Protestantism,
and she is not involved in its fall 277

In theory she is all that the enlightened world could require 279

The only question is, is she so in practice? This brings us to
difficulties 282
