Excerpt from The Christian Consciousness: Its Relation to Evolution in Morals and in Doctrine The literature that has been devoted to the "Christian Consciousness" has been of a fragmentary character. It has been employed for special purposes from the time of Schleiermacher to the present day. This will appear more at length in the course of this work. But the employment of any tenet in philosophy or in doctrine for special purposes, while it demonstrates the apologetic value of the doctrine. is unfavorable to its general reception and systematic study. It receives little more than a passing notice from writers on systematic theology and dogma. It has been called into the court of public discussion as a witness in favor of sensationalism, of Andover theology so-called, and of various views in eschatology. The opponents of these views naturally and almost inevitably regarded the witness with suspicion. Current controversy partakes largely of the nature of special pleading, and the first thing to do was to discredit the character and the testimony of the witness.
