Excerpt from Broad Church: Or What Is Coming I hope an adequate reply to Robert Elsmere will be found in this book by all who think it worth while to peruse it. With Robert Elsmere's object (whatever we may think of his intellect) many of us will deeply sympathise. He seeks to reformulate Religion, and I was only one of many who welcomed this latest attempt to reconstruct a working Christianity out of the ashes of exploded sects and sleepy dogmas. In these days when the Gospel according to Don't Know is being preached far and wide, and people seem rather proud of being sure about nothing connected with religion in this world or the next; anyone who proposes to teach something definite will easily get a bear ing, especially if he is understood to have mastered and discarded the various current religions and philosophies.
