The book is divided into three parts - in the first section Schurman traces the evolution of scientific agnosticism and the journey of Thomas Henry Huxley. In doing so, the author reflects upon omnipotent concepts of creation, revelation and science. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart two of \u003ci\u003eAgnosticism and Religion\u003c\/i\u003e delves into modern philosophical theories throwing light on the genesis of agnosticism as we understand it today. It is in this section that the reader will find hard hitting observations by the author on the very premise of agnosticism and its relevance. The third section of the book draws out the nuances of spiritual religion, its essence and evolution. The taut lines drawn between dogmatism and doubt as well as introspection of the soul and its development make for a very pointed and interesting read. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe author has taken great pains to encompass as many strands of knowledge on the subject as \u003ci\u003eAgnosticism and Religion\u003c\/i\u003e is not just a straightforward narration of fact. It contains some highly debatable and thought provoking inferences that would appeal to students, preachers of religion or the casual reader alike.

While exposing underlying disparities, it also brings out a sense of positivity towards the end.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout the Publisher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is a reproduction of an important historical work.
