xvi, 254 p. ; 19 cm. Matter and spirit: The distinction between matter and spirit dates from the bod and soul of primitive philosophy; While matter is of use to spirit, spirit is of no use to matter; Spiritual intensity in human judgement outweighs material immensity -- The religious influence of the material world: Among the uses of matter to spirit its religious influence is the chief -- Divine immanence in nature: The religious influence of external nature is a fact of greater magnitude than any one of its interpretations -- Divine immanence in man: If God is immanent in nature, He must be immanent in man (as being part of nature) -- The incarnation and miracles: The objection to miracles is chiefly based on uniformity of nature -- The incarnation and sacraments: Matter has a secondary as well as a primary connexion with religion, due to the reaction upon it of the human mind -- The incarnation and the Trinity: The doctrine of the Incarnation (with that of the Trinity which it involves) though philosophical in aspect, was essentially practical in origin by J. R. Illingworth. Also available in digital form on the Internet Archive Web site.
