Excerpt from Why Do the Clergy Avoid Discussion, and the Philosophers Discountenance It?
The reader is not to understand me as assuming that every one who avoids controversy does so for all the six causes assigned, but that those who discourage and discountenance it are much influenced by one or other of these causes.
The term Clergy, for the sake of convenience, I use in the comprehensive sense of signifying the Catholic priest, the pastors of the Established Church, and of the Dissenting and Presby terian Congregations.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a meticulous examination of the various reasons why the clergy avoid religious discussion, offering a thorough analysis of the historical and sociological context surrounding these evasions. The author delves into six primary justifications for clerical reticence, including perceived religious truths as self-evident or sacred, fear of emboldening opponents, apprehension of personal attacks, lack of control over discussions, personal fear, and limited understanding of the art of debate. The book not only exposes the rationale behind clerical avoidance but also challenges the validity of these arguments, highlighting the essential role of discussion in fostering intellectual growth and promoting a deeper understanding of religious beliefs. Through meticulous research and incisive analysis, this book provides valuable insights into the complex dynamics of religious discourse, making it an invaluable resource for scholars, theologians, and anyone seeking a more nuanced perspective on the nature of religious dialogue.
