THE purpose of the author, who is evidently a theistic evolutionist, as in his previous volume, entitled Religion and Science as Allies, is to promote this alliance. He holds that the vastness of the universe, as disclosed by modern science, does not indicate the insignificance of man, but his greatness, since evolution proves that he is "the end and aim of creation" -- " the head of the kingdom of life." He claims, in opposition to Huxley, that evolutionary processes, if traced far enough, disclose a moral purpose and tendency; and, in antagonism with Tyndall and Spencer, he claims that God is knowable by man, and that our religious instincts and intuitions are trustworthy. Evolution being defined as God's method of working, an alliance between evolution and Christianity needs only a correct conception of Christianity, and this, our author believes, is furnished by the higher criticism. Some things said by the author seem to indicate his rejection of the Bible miracles; but he says: "The only miracles which even religion today should know are those wonders.... that present examples of subtler and deeper laws than we are acquainted with." Since what we call natural laws are only what we know of God's method of working, and since it would be absurd to assume that men have discovered all God's methods, we may be sure that there are such " subtler and deeper laws," with which the Bible miracles may be in perfect harmony. The believer in miracles needs to claim no more. The style of the author's criticisms of the Old Testament provokes the suspicion that he has not given to it the candid and independent study which its acknowledged superiority to all other literature and his own avowed purpose warrant us in expecting, but has accepted the dicta of the radical critics with little acquaintance with the arguments of conservative scholars. The counsel given in the chapter on modern dogmatism is good; but it is a two-edged sword, for there is dogmatism in radicalism as well as in conservatism. --The American Journal of Theology, Volume 6 [1902]

Excerpt from The New World and the New Thought Although by the scholars of subsequent centuries this naive representation of the world was much re fined and modified, yet the general conception of the universe as a sort of huge house, with heaven as its upper story and the earth as its lower story, prevailed among the people and a large part of the world of scholars, close down to the modern period.

A call for a paradigm shift in human thinking in recognition of the interconnectedness of all things--a new mind for a new world • Explains how the instability of our current time is part of a larger cycle of human evolution that will soon turn toward renewal and regeneration • Reveals how to participate in the process of conscious evolution to maintain resilience during these transitional times • Examines new findings in quantum physics and quantum biology on the interconnectivity of all life and how to utilize this for conscious evolution For centuries, indigenous wisdom traditions have talked of an epochal shift on the horizon, of a spiritual renaissance for the earth and her living family. Now the timelines are converging and the potential for an energetic “upgrade” for humanity is here, but first we must survive and evolve through the current period of transition. Explaining that evolution is not a gradual process but more like a “shock to the system”--radical waves of transformation after a period of dormancy--author Kingsley Dennis reveals that we are currently undergoing an evolutionary leap and shows not only how to survive but also thrive in this period of global upheaval and change. Examining the nature of evolutionary cycles, he explains that the instability we are now experiencing--climate change, economic meltdowns, and increasing political polarization--is the convergence of complex systems that have reached a critical state. What we need in order to push through to the coming spiritual renaissance is a paradigm shift in human thinking and perception, a conscious evolution in recognition of the interconnectedness of all things--a new mind for a new world. Examining new findings in quantum physics and quantum biology on the interconnectivity of all life as well as opportunities for us to reawaken our slumbering souls, this book offers a glimpse of the new global society to come, a renewed humanity for the 21st century, and how each of us can best participate during the process of planetary transformation.
