The Creative Experience: An Intimation of Immortality, the Drew Lecture for 1922 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from The Creative Experience: An Intimation of Immortality, the Drew Lecture for 1922
Eight years ago it was my privilege to stand in this place and deliver the Drew Lecture. How much has happened since that time. We were in the first months of the Great War, and in the new strange world in which we found ourselves were feeling our way towards some stable moral foundation upon which our faith could rest. At a time so incredibly chaotic the fate of the individual seemed to matter little. Even personal immortality became for the moment a thing of secondary importance. There was a major question which claimed our attention, the question of the existence and of the government of God. Had the world cut loose from its moral moorings, or was it still - in spite of all appearances to the contrary - under divine control?
