Excerpt from Christianity and Agnosticism: A Controversy
Now we are not here concerned with this doctrine as a mere question of abstract philosophy respecting the limits of our natural capacities. We have to consider it in relation to the Church and to Christianity, and the main consideration which it is the purpose of this paper to suggest is that, in this relation, the adoption of the term agnostic is only an attempt to Shift the issue, and that it involves a mere evasion. A Christian Catechism says: First, I learn to believe in God the Father, who hath made me, and all the world; secondly, in God the Son, who hath redeemed me, and all mankind; thirdly, in God the Holy Ghost, who sanctifieth me, and all the elect people of God. The agnostic says: H ow do you know all that? I consider I have no means of knowing these things you assert respecting God. I do not know, and can not know, that God is a Father, and that he has a Son; and I do not and can not know that such a Father made me, or that such a Son redeemed me. But the Christian did not Speak of what he knew, but of what he believed. The first word of a Christian is not I know, but I believe. He professes, not a science, but a faith; and at baptism he accepts, not a theory, but a creed.
