Excerpt from The Interregnum
A leading characteristic of a man in the inter regnum is difiidence. He finds experts disagreeing and feels himself incompetent to decide. He is chary of being persuaded by any elaborate argument, feeling that there may be another side to the question, which he has not yet heard. In short he is unwilling to make up his mind on disputed questions until he has had time to study them thoroughly. This will explain why the Christianity put forward in these Essays is only a meagre, outline Christianity and other features also are to be referred to the point of view from which I start, - the point of view of the interregnum. As far as possible all elaboration of argument is avoided; nothing is assumed that is not beyond all reasonable question, each step in the argument is as simple as possible, and no authorities, secular or sacred, are quoted except to illustrate the attitude of scientists, philosophers, or the sacred writers, to the question under discussion, never to compel assent. Consequently only the broadest outlines can be included, for the elaboration of pros and cons by which many not un important elements of the Christian creed can be established is necessarily ruled out.
