- Summary:
- "The title of the book was chosen because it sets forth in the simplest form of words the subject of the discussion. It is often said, and very generally believed, that science and religion derive their authority from totally distinct sources; that faith begins where science leaves off; that science deals with facts that can be proved, while religion is the outcome of conceptions that have no verifiable attachments in reality. It is the object of this book to show that the premises of religion are as real as any part of man's knowledge; and that the methods by which its vital truths are deduced from these premises are no less legitimate than those employed by science"--Preface.
