Summary: "The Churches and Modern Thought" by Philip Vivian is an analytical examination of the conflicts between Christianity and contemporary rationalist perspectives, written in the early 20th century. The work explores the grounds of modern unbelief and presents a critical inquiry into the relevance of traditional Christian doctrine in the face of advancing scientific knowledge and societal changes. Through a systematic approach, the author aims to discuss significant issues such as the nature of miracles, biblical criticism, and the challenge of reconciling Christianity with modern scientific and philosophical insights. At the start of the text, Vivian sets the stage by outlining the gravity of the current situation regarding religious belief, noting a growing skepticism amongst the educated classes. He cites various authoritative figures from the Christian establishment who have acknowledged this decline in faith, emphasizing the importance of facing these realities rather than ignoring them. The introductory chapters detail the various attitudes among the laity, highlighting their struggle with traditional beliefs in light of modern knowledge. Vivian also asserts that there is an urgent need for a frank discussion about the Christian faith and its foundational claims, particularly as many individuals navigate feelings of doubt and confusion about the teachings they have received versus the evidence they encounter in the world around them.
