About this book

Josian Royces late masterpiece The Problem of Christianity is based on a series of lectures he delivered at Manchester College Oxford in 1913. It presents his philosophical interpretation of Christianitys fundamental ideascommunity sin atonement and saving grace; shows their relevance to the current confluence of world religions; and grounds his position upon a personal transformation into genuine loyalty toward the community of the entire human family. The Problem opens up a mine of surprising treasures while its prophetic voice speaks to contemporary issues and current movements in ecumenics and inter-religious dialogue. Frank M. Oppenheims new introduction highlights its relevance to some of the pressing problems of the new century.
