The Old Faith and the New: A Confession, Volumer 1-2Holt, 1873 - 439 sider In his final work, The Old Faith and the New (1872), Strauss abandons Christianity altogether and turns to a critique of theism in general: Relying on contemporary science and leading philosophers, he rejects God as the creator of the universe and humankind, the divinity of Christ, and the reality of miracles (the Old Faith), thus confining religion to the domains of history, myth, and ethics. With the Christian cosmology undermined, Strauss constructs a new view of the universe and humanity's place in it which is grounded in science and technology, Darwinian evolution, and inductive reasoning (the New Faith), all of which hold out the hope of finding true solutions to human problems. |

Side 14 - Faith ; which Faith except every one do keep whole and undefiled, without doubt he shall perish everlastingly. And the Catholic Faith is this : that we worship one God in Trinity, and Trinity in Unity, neither confounding the Persons, nor dividing the substance.
Side 26 - Suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried, He descended into hell; the third day He rose again from the dead, He ascended into heaven, And sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty ; From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
Side 8 - And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward.
Side 213 - In the enormous machine of the universe, amid the incessant whirl and hiss of its jagged iron wheels, amid the deafening crash of its ponderous stamps and hammers, in the midst of this whole terrific commotion, man, a helpless and defenceless •creature, finds himself placed, not secure for a moment that, on an imprudent motion, a wheel may not seize and rend him or a hammer crush him to powder. This sense of abandonment is at first something awful.
Side 163 - But this much at least is certain, — that the personal image which meets our gaze, there is but a reflection of the wondering spectator himself.
Side 121 - ... affirm that self-consciousness of necessity implies a centre or focus, at which the scattered rays of individuality are gathered up, is assuredly to transgress by the unwarranted use of a physical analogy. I may here quote from Strauss, who always states his case with force and clearness : — The modern monotheistic conception of God has two sides, that of the Absolute and that of the Personal, which, although united in Him, are so in the same manner as that in which two qualities are sometimes...
