Adjusting the Doctrines

In its interpretation of the address of the Methodist Bishops the Outlook says:—

They note, too, the wide-spread desire for adjusting the formulation of the great Christian doctrines to modern knowledge and modern thought—to evolution and to the sense of the immanence of God—though they recommend no action to that end as yet.

This is one of the indications of the drift of sentiment in the religious world—the well-developed tendency to substitute human philosophy for divine revelation. This is the death of true religion.
