Note and Comment

SIR OLIVER LODGE, “the great English physicist,” describes six kinds of Christianity, and then adds a seventh, his own, which he affirms embodies the essential truth of all pagan and of all other religions. One of his reviewers defines this latest kind of Christianity thus: “That seventh form of Christianity is the pantheistic, which recognizes Christ as divine, because it sees in him the highest point yet reached of the manifestation of the God who is immanent in all things.” Thus again does it appear that the doctrine of an immanent God is pantheistic in its nature and tendency. There is no place for such teaching in this message.
