Christianity and Naturalism Essays in Criticism: Second Series explores the profound intellectual conflict between traditional religious belief and the emergence of naturalism as a dominant philosophical force. In this collection of scholarly essays, Robert Shafer examines the tension between a world governed by scientific laws and the spiritual aspirations of the human experience. The work provides a critical analysis of the shift toward materialism and its impact on literature, ethics, and the broader cultural landscape.

Through detailed studies of influential thinkers, Shafer interrogates how the naturalistic perspective challenged the foundations of Christian thought and how literary figures responded to these seismic changes in worldview. By bridging the gap between literary criticism and the history of ideas, Christianity and Naturalism Essays in Criticism: Second Series offers a compelling look at the ideological struggles that defined the transition into the modern era. It is a vital text for understanding the philosophical underpinnings of modern secularism and the enduring relevance of religious inquiry in the face of scientific advancement.
