RELIGIOUS READING 0 FOR LENTEN SEASON Currents off Thought in Modern Re­ ligion Article No. 3 This week I deal with a movement of thought of considerable import­ ance I shall state it, of necessity but briefly, without comment, satisfied that my readers will appreciate the f points brought out. Within the Protestant world the growing influence of Natural Relig­ ion as explained in my last article, is actually leading toward a differentia­ tion between Religion and the Faith in Christ. This is something which perhaps is hard to grasp. Wether there is need for this Differentiation is open to dispute, but there can be no denial that such a Differentiation is before the “Protestant” mind. Am­ ong English-speaking peoples gener­ ally, religion steal means reverent re­ lationship with God, which is found almost everywhere where the Uni­ verse is not focused in man. This does not alter the fact that, in the realm of thought we have a struggle between what is called Religion and the Faith in Christ, or the belief in a specific revelation in the incarnate Son of God who is Christ. This strug­ gle was in evidence even in the Mad­ ras Conference. The focal points of this struggle are: first, religion ap­ pears as the finest flower of the hum­ an soul, sublime in its idealistic forms and desires and stimulating through, its belief in the human faculties of man himself; second, the Faith in Christ is not a faith in man, it is not a Jcind of sublimated, self-confidence, but a definite knowledge of the end of man, of the frontier and limit of his natural capacities, of his deprav­ ity—inshort—-of Sjin, In wide quarters, especially in Aug- ; lol-fAmerican countries, the religious man is thought of as a Christian man. This is not necessarily true, for much that may be termed religious, may not be Christian, One thing i® true, I however, even to the most casual ob­ server i.c., the proponants of secular religion—the belief that man needs no outside help—are most enthusiastic in their views and possess an indes­ tructible optimism regarding the suc­ cess of their propaganda. ‘ Faith in Christ—as meant in this article—does not begin with religious forces residing in man. It is not the outstretched arm of man grasping God, but the outstretched arm of God grasping man. It begins with a dy­ namic of the living God, and not with the activity of busy man'. Therefore it has to begin with a transcendent character long before it becomes con­ scious of the immanent aspect which we have in our belief in the Incarna­ tion and in our Christian experience. Strong as it may sound the pro­ phets of this rebirth of the Faith in Christ, are not liberal optimists, phil­ osophers of religion or mystical pan­ theists, or in the theologians of the 19th century, but men of the Reform­ ation, Luther and Calvin. Call Barth, the Swiss theologian and the leader of the Barthian movement, is the most outstanding prophet of the present day, in the Struggle between Relig­ ion and Christian Faith, which Faith ,is not based on the creative religious forces of men, but on Revelation, on the Word of God, on the Gospel of • Jesus Christ. s Closely connected with the trend of thought already mentioned is an­ other which ought to be mentioned here. (Perhaps tile Editor will pardon, a longer article this week. If he does I-xprpmise .not to repeat the offense.) Flitherto, Christianity was looked on as being- a religious philosophy, an ethics, an intellectual dogmatical sys­ tem, a specific kind of religious ex­ perience, a dogma, a curious ensemble of churches, denominations and sects. To-day, however, the living Christ is rising above these systems, dogmas, churches and moral philosophies. Christ is not only the Messenger of divine Love, the founder of an ethics of love, the head of the churches, the man whom nobody knows, but the real center of the spiritual universe in which we are living, the sole salvation and. meaning of our life, the final end and aim of the world’s process. Among many things the ’great­ World Conferences at Oxford and Edinburgh revealed this fact i.q., Christ is rising above the Churches. The -utter impossibility for the partici­ pating Churches to find compromising formulae in theology and .polity at those Conferences, made it that the Living Christ and He alone, is the [ “Compromise” which is not a fasifi- cation of truth. This trend so far as it affects the Protestant Churches of Europe means that personalistic con­ ception of Christian life has foeen sub­ stituted in place of an impersonal ob­ jective. We have a divine act instead of a theaology, a loving and forgiv­ ing heart instead of a system of eth­ ics. The volumes that are being pour­ ed off the religious presses overseas give proof of the fact that Christ is rising above the churches. The rally­ ing of Christians under the leadership of Christ may become—who knows when?—the solution of the problem how the Catholic and the Protestant Churches may come nearer together.
