Excerpt from An Outline of the History of Christian Thought Since Kant It is impossible to write upon the theme which this book sets itself without using the terms Catholic and Protestant in the conventional sense. The words stand for certain historic magnitudes. It is equally impossible to conceal from our selves how misleading the language often is. The line between that which has been happily called the religion of authority and the religion Of the spirit does not run between Catholic and Protestant. It runs through the middle of many Protestant bodies, through the border only of some, and who will say that the Roman Church knows nothing of this contrast? The sole use of recurrence here to the historic distinction is to emphasise the fact that this distinction stands for less than has commonly been supposed. In a large way the history of Christian thought, from earliest times to the end Of the eighteenth century, presents a very striking unity.

This book serves as a preliminary outline for a larger work that delves into the exploration of Christian ideas, tracing their evolution since the time of Immanuel Kant. While this sketch covers a broad range of topics, the author hopes to examine the literature of the social question and the modernist movement in greater detail. In addition, the philosophy of religion and the history of religions will be explored, along with an assessment of the essence of Christianity in light of its interactions with other religions.

"Outline of the History of Christian Thought Since Kant" from Edward Caldwell Moore. American theologian (1857-1943).

The Protestant Reformation marked an era both in life and thought for the modern world. It ushered in a revolution in Europe. It established distinctions and initiated tendencies which are still significant. These distinctions have been significant not for Europe alone. They have had influence also upon those continents which since the Reformation have come under the dominion of Europeans. Yet few would now regard the Reformation as epoch-making in the sense in which that pre-eminence has been claimed.
