In offering to the public this essay in the philosophy of sacraments I may perhaps be allowed to emphasise the fact that I have not attempted to approach the subject from the standpoint of historical scholarship. I could not indeed have undertaken the task which, by the invitation of the Editors of this series, was proposed to me, if I had not made some effort to acquaint myself with the main systems of thought and the broad lines of argument from which current modes of presenting sacramental doctrine have been derived. But I make no claim to pass any authoritative judgment of my own upon controversial matters of history, in which decision rightly belongs to the historical expert. The point of view which I have tried to take up may be said to be that both of philosophy and of general experience. And it may be that this method of approach has a value of its own. In certain respects the statement and discussion of the substance of doctrines may be freer and clearer, when precise questions of authorship and origin are frankly left in the background. Such at any rate must be the excuse for my presumption. And I am encouraged to offer it by observing that, with rare exceptions, modem theology of the sacraments seems to live and move in a distinctly antiquarian atmosphere.
