The book ""Theism and Humanism: Being the Gifford Lectures, 1914"" by Arthur James Balfour is a collection of lectures given by the author at the University of Edinburgh in 1914. The lectures explore the relationship between theism and humanism, and the role of religion in the modern world. Balfour argues that humanism, which emphasizes the value of human reason and experience, is incomplete without theism, which provides a foundation for morality and meaning. He examines the philosophical and scientific challenges to theism, and offers a defense of religious belief based on the limits of human knowledge and the need for faith. The book is a significant contribution to the ongoing debate about the role of religion in contemporary society, and remains a classic work in the field of philosophy and theology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
