Theism and the Modern Mood

"Theism and the Modern Mood" provides a thoughtful and systematic analysis of the relationship between religious faith and the intellectual climate of the early twentieth century. Walter Marshall Horton investigates the tension between traditional theism and the emerging secular trends of his time, including humanism and scientific naturalism. The work addresses the profound sense of disillusionment and skepticism that characterized the modern era, seeking to determine if belief in God can still be sustained in an age dominated by empirical reasoning and social change.

Throughout the book, Horton engages with the philosophical shifts that have influenced contemporary perspectives on religion. He offers a compelling defense of a theistic worldview that is sensitive to modern concerns, attempting to bridge the gap between historical orthodoxy and the practical realities of a changing world. By examining the psychological and social roots of modern doubt, Horton provides readers with a deeper understanding of the challenges facing religious institutions and individual believers alike. "Theism and the Modern Mood" stands as a significant contribution to religious philosophy, offering a timeless reflection on the struggle to find spiritual meaning within a secularizing society.
