Extract

Theology is constantly recognizing, more fully and more freely, the closeness of its relation to philosophy. Starting though they do from different impulses—theology attempting to interpret experience and philosophy to attain knowledge—they converge upon a common field. No great theologian but influences philosophy, no great philosopher but affects theology.

Of American philosophers since Edwards, no one has made so rich, profound, and extensive a contribution to religious thought as Josiah Royce.

page 232 note 2 It is unfortunate that, as Professor George F. Moore has pointed out to the writer, the term immanence, in its exact derivative sense, precludes transcendence. That which remains in a thing obviously cannot transcend it. Yet what can the theologian do in such a case but assert that meanings transcend terms?
