Prefatory Note

TWELVE years ago I was profoundly influenced by the critical examination of Christian documents and of Christian origins, by science generally and by the new movement in philosophy. I felt impelled to revise my religious beliefs. It was a kind of stocktaking, and took the form of a diary, now long out of print.

Many trials have come upon the Christian religion and the Church since then. It seems to be time for a new stocktaking on my part ; and I propose to write a new diary and in it ask my new questions and find, perhaps, new answers. If I use the old one to confirm or illustrate this, I hope I shall be forgiven by any readers who chance to recognize quotations from it. I shall use them only when I am sure of their being both appropriate and significant in the new context.
