Baden Powell Books
Baden Powell was an English mathematician and a Church of England priest who engaged with advanced ideas about evolution. As a prominent liberal theologian, he put forward progressive perspectives on the world around him. His mathematical and theological work illuminated the intricate relationships between science and faith. Powell's intellectual curiosity and profound reflections on the natural world continue to inspire readers seeking a connection between reason and spirituality.






In this philosophical treatise, 19th-century British theologian Baden Powell explores the nature of truth and the relationship between empirical knowledge and metaphysical speculation. Drawing on both classical and contemporary sources, Powell argues that truth is necessarily grounded in the particularities of experience and is always subject to revision and refinement. At the same time, he insists that there are universal principles of reason and morality that are accessible to human beings through intuition and reflection. A challenging but rewarding work.
This book is a collection of two sermons delivered by Baden Powell. It offers a unique perspective on Christianity and its relationship with Judaism.
