Theism and Humanism: Being the Gifford Lectures Delivered at the University of Glasgow, 1914

Arthur James Balfour's 'Theism and Humanism' is a groundbreaking work exploring the intersection of religion and philosophy. Written in a clear and concise style, Balfour delves into the debate between theism, the belief in a higher power, and humanism, the belief in human agency and reason. Set against the backdrop of the late 19th century, Balfour's work challenges readers to reconsider their beliefs and values in a rapidly changing world. His arguments are backed by extensive research and thoughtful analysis, making this book a valuable contribution to the philosophical discourse of the time. Arthur James Balfour, a prominent statesman and philosopher, brings a unique perspective to 'Theism and Humanism'. His background in politics and academia gives him a depth of knowledge that shines through in his writing. It is clear that his experiences have shaped his worldview and fueled his desire to explore the complexities of religion and human nature. I highly recommend 'Theism and Humanism' to readers interested in philosophy, theology, and the history of ideas. Balfour's eloquent prose and thought-provoking arguments make this book a must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the relationship between faith and reason.
