(4) mental and moral evolution 195-199 (5) the relation of philosophy to Theology 199-202 (6) the comparative study of religions 202-205 while in the Christian view, it both illuminates and is illuminated by those results 205-206 III. But when the planes intersect, and we say 'the Word was made flesh,' we are said to traverse experience 207 (1) This charge is only a critical presumption 207-208 (2) All novelties traverse past experience 208 (3) Moral experience is as real as physical 208-209 (4) The Incarnation harmonizes with our moral experience 209-210 (5) By reorganizing morality it reorientates character 211 (6) It has therefore a true relation to all phases of human life 211-214 VI. THE INCARNATION AS THE BASIS OF DOGMA. I. The principle of Dogma is not to be attacked or defended on _à priori_ grounds. The real question is whether the Incarnation, as asserted, is true or false. And this is a question for evidence 217-220 Even scientific 'dogmata' differ less from religious dogmas than is sometimes supposed, in that (_a_) both are received on evidence, (_b_) both require an experimental verification, or (in so far as either are still held along with error) correction 220-224 The acceptance of dogmatic truth is essentially reasonable. Its claims to (_a_) authority, (_b_) finality, are not the ground for accepting it, but a necessary outcome of the facts accepted in it 224-229 II. The evidence for the Incarnation is as many-sided as human life 229-233 But primarily historical. The crucial fact is the Resurrection 233-236 Everything is involved in the answer to 'What think ye of Christ?' 236-238 It is an error to think of the belief of the Church as an edifice built up in the age of the Councils 238-239 The decisions of the Councils represent only a growth in intellectual precision through experience of error 239-245 The creed in its whole substance is the direct outcome of the fact of the Incarnation 245-250 III. The dogmatic creed is to be distinguished from the body of theological literature which comments upon it 250
