The Ascent of Faith: Or The Grounds of Certainty in Science and Religion by Alexander James Harrison is a philosophical treatise that explores the relationship between science and religion. The book argues that both science and religion are necessary for a complete understanding of the world and that they can coexist in harmony. Harrison examines the history of scientific and religious thought, as well as the philosophical underpinnings of both disciplines. He explores the ways in which science and religion can inform and reinforce each other, and he argues that faith is a necessary component of scientific inquiry. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for both scholars and general readers interested in the intersection of science and religion. Overall, The Ascent of Faith offers a compelling argument for the compatibility of science and religion and the importance of faith in our understanding of the world.1893. These Boyle Lectures begin by showing that which skeptics of all kinds believe, and then what, from their own standpoint, they ought to believe. This accomplished, it is next shown what new necessities and obligations, logical and moral, come from the step already taken; and so forward, point by point, until the Catholic Faith in Christ is reached. Contents: scope of the lectures; classes of agnostics addressed; nature of evidence; preoccupation of worldliness as secularism and positivism; secularistic positivism as critical; concerning the supernatural; supernatural in imitation; supernatural in evolution; certainty as faith in truth and right; certainty as scientific; certainty as religious; certainty as Christian.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
